Datalogic Scanning Reset Your Scanner and Program Your Datalogic Scanner with Ease

Programming

Wand Emulation Connection — Connect the scanner to the appropriated port on the ter- minal/PC using the correct cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 2.

IBM Connection — Connect the scanner to the IBM port on the terminal/PC using the cor- rect IBM cable. Reference Figure 2.

Keyboard Wedge Connection — Before connection, turn off power to the terminal/PC. The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the scanner. Connect the female to the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the terminal/PC. Reference Figure 2.

Programming

The scanner is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface bar code from the Interface Related Features sec- tion, you can select other options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions and programming bar codes available in that section and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of this manual.

Using the Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like the label below for resetting defaults, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the scanner to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan a START/END bar code once to enterProgramming Mode. Once the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the START/ END bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal operation.

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you are unsure of what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings bar code below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the cur- rent configuration.

Standard Product Default Settings

The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu commands for the standard RS-232 interface in BOLD text on the following pages. Exceptions to default set- tings for the other interfaces can be found in Appendix D, Default Settings.
