Cipherlab ReaderConfig app

The ReaderConfig app is used for the configuration of the scanner. A Default profile is defined and this profile is set up to deliver scanned data as simulated keyboard input. Glink can therefore not distinguish scanned data from keyboard data. A better solution is to configure the scanner to send data with Intent Action to Glink.

To check that data is received with Intent Actions, the scanned data should also be displayed on the status line at the bottom of the Glink screen.

Intent Action configuration

To set up the scanner software to use intent action, set the following parameter in the ReaderConfig app:

 Default->Data Output->Keyboard Emulation->None

In Glink, if not already done, select the parameter:

 Settings->Barcode reader setup->Barcode reader device type->Cipherlab

Prefix and suffix settings

When the scanner is set up to use Intent Action, Prefix, Suffix and Action after scan can be configured both in the ReaderConfig app and in Glink. Make sure to set these parameters in one place only.

Specific profile for Glink

In the ReaderConfig app a new profile can be defined and associated with a given app, for example Glink.

In the main screen for the ReaderConfig app select the Drop-down menu->New. Enter a name. Then select Associated App->Glink (VT/5250) and then check Profile Enabled parameter. Finally set the parameter Data output->Keyboard Emulation->None
