You need the MS–DOS operating system, version 3.0 or higher. If you’re
using the Microsoft C version of the scanner driver software, you’ll need a
Microsoft C compiler, version 5.1 or higher (version 6.0 recommended). If
you’re using the Borland C version of our software, you’ll need a Borland
C compiler, Turbo C++ 1.0 or higher (Borland C++ 2.0 recommended).
Source code for library routines and the interrupt handler is available for a
nominal charge. To obtain source code, you must contact Order Services
and request 6008-SIDC software. They will ship you a license agreement.
Return the signed agreement. A-B source code will be supplied on
3.5-inch and 5.25-inch diskettes.
In this manual, this type is used for special names, such as names of files
and C language identifiers.
The hexidecimal equivalent of selected error codes and commands are
given in the header definition files found in appendix A at the back of this
manual.
Numbers in this document are in decimal unless otherwise noted. Binary
numbers are marked with a trailing (binary), and hexadecimal numbers
with a trailing (hex); for example, 11010(binary) = 26 = 1A(hex).
Bits are numbered so that bit 0 is the low-order bit. For example, bit 4 is
four bits left of bit 0 and has a value of 2
4 =16. Following C conventions,
array subscripts start at 0.
