Export Bar Code Scanner Settings

Use this screen only if you have purchased an Intermec 2400 series hand-held scanner (models 2410, 2415, 2420, or 2425).

This toolkit automatically creates/updates a Costpoint file named "CPFABC.INI," which you can download directly into the Intermec scanner using the Intermec FileCopy Utility.

Note: You must use Intermec's FileCopy Utility to manage the download and upload of data between Costpoint Fixed Assets and the Intermec scanner. Intermec's FileCopy Utility is not automatically included with the purchase of the scanning hardware from Intermec, but you can download the utility at no charge from Intermec's web site.

The length of your asset number and any defined location code labels are read from Costpoint data and automatically display on this screen. This data, along with your choice of whether to scan by Asset No or Tag No, is saved in the CPFABC.INI file and downloaded to the scanner using Intermec's FileCopy Utility. The CPFABC.INI file supplies the base information from which the scan is performed.

Under normal circumstances, you will use this screen one time only at initialization to create the initial CPFABC.INI file. You will not need to re-create the CPFABC.INI file again unless you make edits to the Location 1, 2, or 3 code labels and/or functionality in Costpoint Fixed Assets or you want to change the Scan By selection parameter (Asset No or Tag No) or the default file location.

Note: In this version of Costpoint, the option to require user password entry in the scanning hardware is not available.

You can save settings from this screen to create a new CPFABC.INI file for download into the scanner at any time. Under normal circumstances, however, you will need to use this screen only once at initialization to create the initial CPFABC.INI file.

If you have made edits to the Location 1, 2, or 3 labels and/or functionality in Costpoint Fixed Assets or you want to change the Scan By selection parameter (Asset No or Tag No), you can modify the settings on this screen. When you save your edits, a new CPFABC.INI file will be created.

There are two ways to work with export files in Costpoint:

  • You can export the file to an Alternate File Location.
  • You can export the file to the Costpoint database.

If you decide to use the first option, click in the Alt File Location field to select the alternate file location to which you want to save the file. If you choose the second option, leave the Alt File Location field blank when you export the file.
