Programming Overview

The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accommodate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be communicated to the scanner in one of two ways:

1.Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host commands are available. Refer to Appendix D for more details or contact Tech Support.

2.Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scan- ner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the bar code labels and instructions necessary to configure the scanner’s fea- tures and options.

When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scan-

ner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory

defaults.

NOTE

Programming via Handheld Device

The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes presented in this manual. DatalogicTM models QuickScan® 1000 and QuickScan® 6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format requirements (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in Appendix F of this manual. Additionally the programmable feature, Aux Port Mode, must be set to “External Handheld Input” to allow operation.
