Single Scanner Operation

There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one mode to another. Default = Locked Link Mode.

Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner

If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the base. If you do place a different scanner into the base, it will charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.

*Locked Link Mode (Single Scanner)

To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See "Scanner Modes" on page 1-6.)

Open Link Mode - Single Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are not linked. By placing a scanner into the base, they establish a link. Placing a different scanner into the base establishes a new link and the old scanner is unlinked. Each time a scanner is placed into the base, it becomes the linked scanner; the old scanner is unlinked.

Open Link Mode(Single Scanner)Override Locked Scanner

If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base, scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner and place that scanner in the base. The locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.
