Using the WDP Reader Setup Menu

1If you have never scanned before, refer to Appendix K for Scanning Instructions. To configure your reader using the Reader Setup Menu, you must first scan the Start Setup code at the top left corner. Do this now.

You'll hear two beeps. During Setup, nothing will be transmitted to your omputer; the Reader Setup Menu codes are strictly for configuring the reader. If you did not hear two beeps, try scanning the code again, until you hear the two beeps.

2Next, choose the topic you want to change an option for, and scan its code. Let's use Beep Tone, at the lower left corner of the menu, as an example. Scan the Beep Tone code now. You'll hear two beeps.

3Then, choose the option you want to change, from the list next to the topic bar code you just scanned. For Beep Tone, the options range from 0 for the lowest pitch to 4 for the highest pitch. Using the "Barpad

Table" on the right side of the Reader Setup Menu, scan the number or letter associated with the option you have selected. Let's change the beep pitch to Highest. Now scan the 4 on the "Barpad Table". You will again hear two beeps.

4Now scan End Setup (at the top-right corner of the Reader Setup Menu to complete the setup exercise. You'll hear three beeps. If you followed the instructions correctly and successfully changed beep tone to

"highest", the three beeps will be higher in pitch than the other beeps had been. If they aren't higher in pitch, repeat the steps on this page until you are successful at changing the beep tone.

Now that your beep tone is at the "highest" pitch, you may want to change it back to "medium" or a different setting. Repeat the steps above, selecting the option you prefer to "highest" in step 3.

When you've successfully changed the beep pitch, and are ready to configure the reader for your specific application, scan Start Setup again. Continue scanning topics and options until you've made all the changes you desire, and then scan End Setup to complete setup.

The next chapter will take you step by step through configuring each WDP Reader option. Default settings are shown in bold in this manual and marked with an * on the Reader Setup Menu.
