SDS Package Generation

Step 1: Create the configuration file​

Create the configuration file on the Aladdin application. This step is required only when you plan to update the scanner configuration over the service port. Otherwise, you can use an S37 or DAT file to configure the scanner. Aladdin offers two ways to create the configuration file.

Online mode - Create the configuration file with a scanner​
