Should I use SetEndorseText() or SetFixedEndorseText()?

Should I use SetEndorseText() or SetFixedEndorseText()?

As part of application initialization, the application should query Ranger's TransportInfo.ini file via Ranger's GetTransportInfo() method (section 13.1.12.1 of the Ranger Transport API Functional Specification Document Version 2.3) to determine if the scanner uses fixed endorse text.
  1. Ranger.GetTransportInfo("General", "UsesFixedEndorsement");

For scanners that return "true" for UsesFixedEndorsement, the application must use Ranger's SetFixedEndorseText() method rather than Ranger's SetEndorseText() method.
