ScanMaster Web, the web-based application having the same functionality as the desktop
version, is designed with client-server architecture that makes it easier to configure
CipherLab barcode scanners via accessing CipherLab’s web site. It provides two ways for
users to configure the scanners – (1) send the settings from your computer to the
scanners by direct communication, or (2) generate and print out the setup barcodes for
the scanners to read anytime anywhere to configure itself or restore the defaults.
This user guide contains information on using ScanMaster Web. We recommend that you
read it thoroughly before use and keep it at hand for quick reference.
Thank you for choosing CipherLab products!
