1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 F732 WIZARD™ TERMINAL DESCRIPTION
For vast majority of small businesses and retailers, the
complete Formula Wizard™ package represents the
simplest and most cost-effective solution for entering the
world of bar code data acquisition.
The Formula 732 Wizard™ (abbreviated in this manual to
F732) portable terminal with its integrated laser scanner is
at the heart of the Formula Wizard™ solution. Fast and
reliable in reading the most common symbologies, it comes
equipped with a handy 25-key alphanumeric keyboard and
has a large display with icons. Data transfer to the PC takes
place by simply placing the terminal into the Formula 952
Transceiver/Charger, which is equipped with a RS232 serial
port, and using Systools™ 2001 - an effective software
utility for transferring data to standard ASCII files.
By using the EasyGen™ software package, developers can
quickly build personalized applications according to the
required contexts by easily creating programs of average
complexity in a Windows environment.
