Programming Guide 1
Introduction
This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces and bar codes
for customizing the scanner's operation. Since the
QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus
scanner contains software enhancements and characteristics that set it
apart from other scanners, it is recommended that this guide be used as
the sole source of programming labels and information (except for other
QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus
product-specific publications).
The organization of this manual is intended to support a variety of users
while making it quick and easy to find the information you need. Look at
the descriptions that follow to find where to go from here.

Understanding the Basics

If you do not regularly use bar code labels to configure (program)
scanners, it will be very helpful to read the introductory portions of this
manual prior to beginning your programming session. In addition to the
information that follows, information of specific interest to you is titled:
— Integrating Peripherals with Host Systems
— Changing Interfaces
— Customizing Your Scanner Operation
— Programming Overview
— What is Programming Mode?
— How to Program Using Bar codes
— The Programming Session
— Scanner Response When in Programming Mode
— If You Make A Mistake
— Where to Go From Here

Integrating Peripherals With Host Systems

It's important to understand that the scanner must contain software and
hardware that supports a specific interface in order to use that interface.
The following pages describe interface hardware and list software inter-
face groups available on current models.
Optimally, you'll want details about how your scanner was configured at
the factory before attempting to customize any settings. If you don't have
that information, contact your dealer for factory configuration information.
After determining the changes and/or additions you desire, locate the
programming labels and follow the related instructions in this manual to
adjust the scanner. Once you've completed these steps, you can begin
scanning.
