Microscan 890 No Data Output or Beep on Calibration Screen


We came across this situation this week trying to read a bar code in the calibration screen of Microscan's ESP software. It shows the code reading and the % decode but no beep and no data out the 25 pin port. As soon as you switch to the Terminal window, the reader beeps and outputs the data.
In Continuous read mode, you also have to have the current focal settings in the database or the scanner won't read. The database was designed to be used with a trigger event.
