Datalogic Scanning 9504, 9500 manual Programming Sequence

Programming Sequence

To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes contained in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the feature being programmed (as shown in Table 6-1). There are three possi- ble programming sequences:

	If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface
	configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming session.
	(Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to the fac-
NOTE	tory default for that interface type.)

A.Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) demon- strates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to do the follow- ing:

1.Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar code).

2.Scan the Item Tag1 that will enable the new feature.

3.End the programming session and reset the scanner (SWITCH bar code).

B.Sample B provides an example of a programming feature requiring the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scanner is placed in Programming Mode and an Item Tag1 is scanned. Then, a value must be entered before ending the programming session. In the example, three digits must be scanned from the number pad in Appendix C. This type of format, requiring several bar codes, is nec- essary to allow flexible programming for item values with larger numeric ranges.

C.The programming sequence shown in example C requires scanning of a single, extended length bar code. This special programming bar code contains all the data necessary to enter Programming Mode, set the Item Tag1 and Item Value, and exit Programming Mode (all in one step).

1.An “Item Tag” is a term used to describe an assigned number, which is encoded in a programming bar code, that toggles (selects, enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.
