You have now finished setting up OpticonRL for Windows. You can test that it is working by opening an application that allows you to enter text like Notepad. To open Notepad, select Start, then Run. In the dialog that appears type "Notepad.exe" then press enter. This will bring up a text box that you can scan barcodes into. If the data you're getting is garbled, or you don't get any data when you scan barcodes then you may need to adjust some of the settings. A couple of common problems are incorrect COM port settings and incorrect Baud Rate.
