Additional Functions

Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and calibrating the scale.

Programming

When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is configured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the bar code symbologies you designated. If you need to change this configuration information for any reason, Section 6, Programming, contains special bar code labels for changing the unit’s settings.

Diagnostic Mode

Refer to Section 2, Diagnostic Modes for details about running scanner and scale diagnostics. Turn to Section 4, Problem Isolation, for a description of error codes resulting from diagnostics.

Scanner and Scale Reset

The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/ scale models. As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on. Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit’s internal Selftest rou- tine.

Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more informa- tion, see the topic, Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operationearlier in this sec- tion.
