GENERAL INFORMATION
PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW
This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features. These features can be configured using the barcode labels contained in this manual or by using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix B, Additional Information, for host programming details. If you program the scanner using these barcodes, the scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed. Whenever you use these labels to change programmable features, you are changing these features for the active interface only.
WHAT IS PROGRAMMING MODE?
To change the scanner's programmed settings, it is necessary to place the scanner in Programming Mode using the special “set” label. This ensures that the scanner only recognizes the special programming labels contained in this programming guide.
HOW TO PROGRAM USING BARCODES
The following pages contain special barcode labels that are used to change or enable the scanner's programmable options. All programming sessions follow this order, unless otherwise instructed:
NOTE
Programming should be performed with the base station in near proximity to ensure opti- mal communication and sllow the user to monitor the base station’s LED indicators.
1.Scan the SET label at the top of the page. The scanner will emit two beeps indicating it has read the label, and the base station’s red LED will begin flashing. As long as the lamp is flashing, the scanner will only recognize and decode pro- gramming labels.
2.Scan the feature label(s) for the programmable options you wish to enable. The scanner will emit two beeps each time you scan a valid label. (Note that not all features are available for all interfaces.) The first beep indicates that the scanner has read the label, the second announces base station acknowledgement of the label.
3.Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to complete the programming session and exit Programming Mode.
