IMPROVEMENTS N/A RESTRICTIONS in CURRENT RELEASE It's recommended to only use the EV_RXCHAR event for SetCommMask function when VComm gets initialized When using the overlapped IO, the GetOverlappedResult function has to be called after ReadFile when number of returned bytes is 0. ERROR_IO_PENDING is possible when use the overlapped I/O and ReadFile. It should be ignored. The PurgeComm function cannot be used during VComm initialization. Use it when VComm gets closed. Disable the scanner Ack/Nack protocol to ensure optimum performance. The unsolicited inquiry message will not be sent after the Reset command is issued. Instead, reinitialize VComm and such message will come automatically. Its recommended to reinitialize the scanner after soft reset.
