E-EQ-MX3RG-J-ARC MX3 Reference Guide
Chapter 5 Utilities
Introduction
Note: Make sure there is a fully charged battery in the MX3 before beginning a process
described in this chapter. When using an MX3 in a powered cradle or with an external
power source connected through the MX3 power jack, make sure there is an
uninterrupted power source during file transfer or process.
ATTENTION Powering off the MX3 before a write (to disk) function has completed
may result in corruption of the flash drive.
This chapter contains descriptions and instructions for the following MX3 resident utilities:
IrDALite Plus
A standard DOS device driver (IRPLUS.EXE) which converts data sent to the MX3 COM ports to
infrared data that is then sent to an external device through the infrared port on the MX3. This
protocol sends data in both directions, but not simultaneously. Please refer to the “MX3 Cradle
Reference Guide” when using IrDALite Plus on an MX3 in a powered cradle.
LXE BCWEDGE
This Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program is used to redirect input from COM1 or COM2
to the BIOS key ring buffer. With this TSR running, input from a communication port appears as
if it was typed in from the keyboard.
This utility is most useful with applications that do not know about the MX3’s scanner port. This
utility, therefore, allows an off-the-shelf application to accept barcode data.
