CONFIGURATION

The Omni reader must be appropriately configured to your application. Configuration settings enable the reader to work with the host system. These settings are programmed into the reader through the keyboard. Once pro- grammed, these configuration settings are stored in the reader’s non-volatile memory (so they are not affected by the cycling of power).

Bar Code Input

The reader may need to be configured to accept the desired bar code data and format it for transmission to the host. This includes enabling it for the correct bar code symblogy, setting any check digit, start/stop codes, preamble/post- amble, and min/max symbol length. Default settings enable all least restric- tive settings.

Magnetic Stripe Input

The reader may need to be configured to accept the desired magnetic stripe data and format it for transmission to the host. The encoded data can be ANSI, ISO, AAMVA, and California Drivers License magnetic stripe formats. The reader can be configured to read any track, 1 only, 2 only, 3 only, 1 & 2, 2

&3, or 1,2 &3. In addition, track start/stop sentinels can be sent or suppressed and track 2 account number information only can be selected along with user selectable track separator characters. Default settings enable reading on all available tracks (depending on whether the reader is equipped to read one, two, or three tracks).

Configuration Setup Procedure

1.On an AT-compatible computer, enter any communication program. (Hyper Terminal is recommend in the Windows environment.)

2.Turn on the CAPS LOCK feature on the keyboard, as the configuration code is case sensitive.

3.Identify the settings that you wish to change. All options are covered in the various setup groups explained in this manual. (The reader’s related setting features are grouped together.)

4.Enter the GROUP SETUP MODE by typing /E/D/FX (where X is the group name identified in Step 3).
