Programming Overview
The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accom- modate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be commu- nicated to the scanner in one of three 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.The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner is to use the Configurator Express™
3.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 features and options.
When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scanner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory defaults.
NOTE
Programming via Handheld Device
The scanner can also accept programming via its auxilliary 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. Datalogic 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.
