SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING, UPDATING, AND BOOTING AN ALTERNATE OPERATING SYSTEM ON A PORTABLE DATA READER

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for updating configuration settings, updating an OS image, and booting an alternate OS on a portable data reader including a reading engine for reading data from an object. Configuration settings of a portable data reader may be updated by detecting whether a storage device having a set of updated configuration settings stored thereon has been coupled to the portable data reader and, if so, updating one or more configuration settings on the portable data reader with one or more of the updated configuration settings from the storage device.
