Intermec 5055 Reference Guide

Use the input functions to receive data or to retrieve the length or bar code symbology
of previous input. You can receive a file, a field, a buffer, or one or more characters
from the keyboard, scanner, or communications port.

For compatibility with JANUS devices, the PSK supports input mode functions. For
more information on input modes, see Chapter 4, “Converting Trakker Antares, 6400,
and JANUS Applications to 5055 Applications.”

The PSK includes these input functions:

im_get_input_mode

im_receive_buffer

im_get_label_symbology

im_receive_field

im_get_label_symbologyid

im_receive_input

im_get_length

im_set_input_mode

im_input_status

// This segment sets the 5055 in programmer mode to accept a string of

characters.

// The string is NOT sent until you press Enter, and you can use backspace to

// make a correction before pressing Enter.

//

#include "imstdio.h"
#include "im5055.h"

void main()
{
IM_UCHAR  input [1024];
IM_STATUS  status;   // Results of call
IM_USHORT  source;   // Input sources

    im_clear_screen();

im_set_input_mode(IM_PROGRAMMER);
printf("Scan or Type data.\nPress Enter to \nend line.\n");

/* Request input from label or keypad*/
source = IM_LABEL_SELECT | IM_KEYBOARD_SELECT;
status = im_receive_input(source, IM_INFINITE_TIMEOUT, &source, input);
