Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to seven scanners linked to one base. You can also have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one work group. If you want each scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/ suffix, data formatter), then you may program each scanner to its own unique work group and may program each scanner independently. Visual XPress (page 9-1) makes it easy for you to program your system for use with multiple scanners and multiple work groups.

The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scanner is connected or reconnected to a base, the scanner is updated with the latest settings from the base for its work group. The scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base. If a scanner is removed from one base and placed into another base, it will be updated with the new base settings for whatever work group that the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner was in work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second base with the associated settings.
