Notes:
• ActiveSync will not work over a COM port if that COM port is assigned to Port 1 or
Port 2 in the Scanner applet as a scanner input. For example, if COM3 is being used
by the scanner, COM3 can’t be used by any other program.
• After scanning a Reset All or equivalent barcode for your specific external scanner,
the next step is to select Start | Control Panel | Scanner. Click the OK button and
close the scanner control panel. This action synchronizes all scanner formats.
• The scanner wedge does not configure an external scanner. Supported symbologies
must be enabled for external scanner (see the documentation provided with the
external scanner). Enabling or disabling a symbology in the scanner wedge only
affects processing of the barcode data. It does not enable or disable the external
scanner’s ability to scan the symbology.
• LXE 8300 Tethered Scanners and Symbology Settings (AIM ID) – Before
manipulating data received from an 8300 series scanner, and symbology settings are
desired, the user must configure and append the Symbology ID as a prefix. See the
documentation provided with the scanner for details.

COM3 port is labeled “COM2/3”.
