Win. Layout
Select a Windows layout from the dropdown menu. Possible values:

  • Normal: recommended in desktop mode

Timeout (sec)
An initial timeout setting for the Client application. The Client application requests its configuration (including the Kill Time value) from the application server and for this first-time communication the Client application uses the Timeout setting.

  • If the application server does not respond within the time limit defined by the Timeout setting, the Client application aborts the connection.
  • If this first communication is successful, that is, the application server responds to the Client application within the time limit, the Kill Time setting is applied to define the timeout for future communication among the Client application, the application server and the database.
  • The default value of the Timeout setting is 15 seconds. If your application or database server is slow, it is recommended to change the value to a higher number.

Timeout and Kill Time

Diagnostics tab

On the Sounds tab you can define if you want Produmex Scan to play a sound whenever a barcode has been scanned successfully or a problem has occured while scanning.

If you enable the Play Sound setting, you can also set the success and the fail sound in the drop-down menus. In case of the success sound, the no sound option is also available.

If the setting is enabled and Produmex Scan displays a message, it displays the following sound:

  • error: fail sound
  • warning: fail sound
  • info: success sound

Note: If the setting is enabled, Produmex Scan also plays a success sound when you leave a field where a barcode has been scanned successfully, for example when you tap the Add or the Update button.

The path of the sounds files Produmex Scan displays in the drop-down menus can be defined with the Audio directory for scanning (Service Broker directory) setting, see documentation here.
