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:
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).
NOTE
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-
tory default for that interface type.)
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.
