MENU-DRIVEN OPERATION
The SUNMAX-2000 has a
4 x 20 LCD display and a 35-key alpha-numeric keypad, which
allows for a fully menu-driven operation. The Main Menu
is comprised of six Menus:
PROGRAM MENU:
In
this menu, you may create up to 4 programs for data collection
and/or storing data file. Each program can have up to 24
statements or prompt texts.
COLLECT MENU:
This menu allows you to collect, review, and modify the
data by using specified criteria set in the programs you
created.
UPLOAD MENU:
After data is
collected, this menu is used to upload the data to your
computer.
SET UP MENU:
In this menu, your
data collection environment is defined. For example, the type
of bar code symbology and computer interface are set up here.
DOWNLOAD MENU:
When using the EasyGen
program generator to configure and program, this menu allows
you to download the information from your PC to the
SUNMAX-2000.
NON-PORT:
This menu allows you
to use the SUNMAX-2000 as a fixed reader for applications that
require stationary scanning.
EASY TO CONFIGURE AND
PROGRAM:
There are two methods of configuring and
programming the SUNMAX-2000. The first method uses the
keypad to operate the reader's menu-driven setup utility for
easy configuration, and the built-in program generator to
generate up to four programs. The second method uses an
optional program generator EasyGen, which allows the
configuration and programs to be downloaded from the PC to the
SUNMAX-2000.
UPLOAD THE DATA DIRECTLY TO YOUR
APPLICATION OR A DATA FILE:
The method used to upload
data to your computer's application is a very important factor
in determining a data collector's ease of use. With its
uniquely designed upload method, the SUNMAX-2000 allows
control codes and delays to be inserted into your collected
data's sequence, so as to match the input sequence of your
application. Using this method allows the data to be uploaded
directly to your application via the keyboard or USB port (a
Keyboard to USB adapter is required). Or, using the
COM2000 utility allows the collected data to be uploaded to an
ASCII data file.
DOWNLOAD DATA FILES TO THE
SUNMAX-2000:
Up to four ASCII data files can be
downloaded to the SUNMAX-2000 from your computer via the
RS-232 port. Then, you may use the data files to perform
the data verification, table look up, pick list, and even
simple data base application.
VERSATILE INPUT
DEVICE:
SUNMAX-2000 can auto-discriminate between all
the popular bar code symbologies such as: Code 39, UPC/EAN,
Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI/Plessy and Code 128. It
supports all types of input devices: Wand, CCD, Laser scanner,
Magstripe scanner, and the device w/ RS-232 output.
PRINTER SUPPORT:
SUNMAX-2000 supports most
of the portable printers to generate labels, tickets or
receipts. You may configure the printer control command
by using EasyGen.
MODEM SUPPORT:
You
may also attach an external MODEM to the SUNMAX-2000 and
upload the data via the telephone line.
MULTIPLE
POWER SOURCE:
The SUNMAX-2000 can be operated with 3
AA batteries for portable operation, or with an external power
adapter when used as a fixed reader.
LONG BATTERY
LIFE:
3 AA Alkaline batteries can give you
approximately 70,000 scans with the PSC-6000 laser scanner.
That's nearly 20 hours of continuous use. In addition, a
lithium battery will maintain data and programs for years.
ADVANCED FEATURE:
With EasyGen
program generator, you may define up to 4 variables.
There are three ways to define a variable: (1) define as a
constant, (2) store the input data in a variable; and (3) get
an item from a data file and store it in a variable. And you
may program the SUNMAX-2000 to perform calculations and
comparison on these variables. You may also design your own
Menus to replace the Main, Collect or Upload Menus.
