Programming the Scanner

Bar Code Programming Menu

The bar code commands are specially designed Proprietary bar code labels that allow you to set the scanner’s internal programming parameters. The three main programming bar code types are referred to as System Command, Family Code, and Option Code. With the exception of the Option Code bar codes, which are found on the foldout section in the back of the book, each programmable family is contained on one page, and each page includes all of the bar codes needed to program the scanner. Refer to the flow chart on page 3-8 for further clarification.

System Command

The System Command is the highest level bar code command that directs the scanner to perform immediate operations, such as entering programming mode (PROGRAM), exiting programming mode (EXIT), listing system information (SYSLIST), recovering to factory preset configurations (M_DEFAULT), and so on. Please note that all system commands will take a few seconds to complete the operations. The user must wait for the completion beeps before scanning another bar code.

Family Code

The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired programming family. More than one hundred programming families have been provided to meet any specific requirements.

Option Code

The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands represented by “0–9,” “A–F,” and finishing selection (FIN). For most settings, you must select at least one option code following the family code selection to set the desired parameter for the selected programming family.

Programming Procedures

As you scan the bar code command to select the desired parameters, the information is stored in the scanner’s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory. If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory retains all programmed settings.
