			To enable the trigger on the Tera scanner handle:

			1. Get to the Scanner Config Page.

			2. Disable the scanner.

			3. Key in 293 on the scanner keypad.

			4. Re-enable the scanner.

			5. The scanner config page should look like the image above if it's set correctly.

			== Windows 11 Industrial Rugged Tablet ==
			Two additional applications are required to use the scanner features: Honeywell Download manager tool (which will manage any subsequent Honeywell software downloads), then an EZConfig for Scanning software for the configuration of scanner itself. Both parts can be downloaded from the same portal: https://hsmftp.honeywell.com/

			To download the zip file containing the Honeywell Download manager tool, select "here" marked by the first arrow. When finished, right-click the zip file selecting "Extract all..." then select a home/path for this installer.

			To download the EZConfig for Scanning, in the file system on the left: Software -> Barcode Scanner -> Software -> Tools and Utilities -> EZConfig for Scanning -> Current.

			# Open the EZConfig for Scanning software when it's finished downloading.
			# Open the file "EZConfig-Scanning v4_msedge"
			# select "Connected Device"
			# select "Configure Device"
			# select "Data Formatting"
			# in Data Formatting, verify that you are on the "Prefix/Suffix" tab
			# enter <code>~</code> as the Prefix
			# enter <code>{ CR}</code> as the Suffix

			This may be out-dated.

			^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

			Instead of using EZConfig, we need to use another Honeywell tool named SoftWedge. It can be downloaded from the same link as the download manager and EZConfig: https://hsmftp.honeywell.com/

			To download the SoftWedge zip file you will need to navigate the Honeywell file system on the left when you open the link: Software > Barcode Scanners > Software > Tools and Utilities > Softwedge > Current.

			# Unzip the SoftWedge folder
			# Open and read the PDF instructions in the folder
			# Run SoftWedge.exe, it will pop up in the system tray
			# Open up SoftWedge and verify the "port status" is connected
			# enter <code>~</code> as the Prefix
			# enter <code>{ CR}</code> as the Suffix
			# Verify things are working by doing test scans in Chromium/EEweb Configuration->Scanner->Test Scanner

			== NOTE on ENTERPRISE LX setup ==
			enterpise lx default pre/postable
			preamble = "126" = "~"
			postamble = "13" = "Enter"

			For munbyn scanner, the postamble/suffix does not allow you to use "Enter" so you need to leave that blank and instead check the box under EndMark that says "Enter"

			== TROUBLESHOOTING ==
			My Tera scan returns a different barcode every time despite scanning the same barcode!

			# At the top of the LX Landing Page where it say Signed In / Not Signed In, tap the Sign-In and choose "Disable Honeywell Mode."
