Rockwell Automation 2755 AdaptaScan Bar Code Readers - Manual (Page 22)

Overview 1–14
The AdaptaScan Software (Catalog No. 2755-ASN), a Windows TM
based package, lets you configure a Reader through a series of
menus, tools and dialog boxes. Context sensitive help is available to
assist with use of the software.
All Reader functions are configured from the Project dialog shown

The Project window has buttons for accessing these operations.
