Configuration of the LZ520-2D Reader

The LZ520-2D is configured using the setup bar codes found in Appendix A. Most commands are of the single entry type and only require a single command to enable or disable a feature or function. To change the configuration of a setting start by scanning the “Start Set up” bar code followed by the bar code for the setting(s) you wish to change and then the “End Setup” bar code. You will notice that once you read the “Start Setup” bar code the LZ520-2D will enter setup mode and stay on until you scan the “End Setup” bar code.

When scanning setup bar codes (or just about any bar code for that matter) follow these tips for best results:

1)Since the LZ520-2D functions like a camera, holding the scanner steady will improve scanning results.

2)When more than one bar code is in the visible area of the scanner it is a good idea to cover the “unwanted” bar codes to prevent them from being read by acc ident.

3)If you scan a setup code by accident and the scanner is not working properly but you're not sure what you changed, it's best to scan the “Reset All Settings to Default” bar code and start over.

4)You will find that most bar codes read better when the scanner is angled slightly so that the light reflected from the bar code does not “blind” the scanner. It' s just like if you were to try to take a flash picture of a piece of paper, when you do it straight on the flash bounces back and you get a lot of glare but if you do it at a slight angle you get a nice picture.

5)Reading of high-resolution bar codes may require you to move the scanner closer to the bar code to get a good read.

6)When reading a poor quality bar codes it is a good idea to put tighter limits on what the bar code reader

will allow to prevent errors in reading.

7) The LZ520-2D is an “Omnidirectional” bar code reader so bar codes can be read with any orientation or rotation relative to the reader.

Warning: The setup codes in the LZ520-2D Setup Guide are for the LZ520-2D only. Do not use these codes to setup the 2D scanner on a 2D integrated Terminal or TriCoder. Use the internal menu to configure those units.
