Multiple Image Scanner Operation

To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you scan this bar code, the image scanner is unlinked from the base and must be placed into the base to re-link.

Multiple Image Scanner Operation

Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image scanners to one base. You cannot join an eighth image scanner until you unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of range.

Image Scanner Name

You are able to assign a name to each image scanner you are using. It will be helpful to name the image scanners if you have multiple image scanners linked to one base so that you will be able to control the image scanner receiving imaging commands sent from the base. The default name for a 3820, for exam- ple, is “3820”. If you have more than one 3820s linked to a base, the first image scanner that is linked to the base receives commands addressed using this name.

Changing Image Scanner Name - Serially

If you wish to change the name, you may change it via a serial command (refer to "Menu Command Syntax" on page 10-1)or via a bar code command. To change the name serially, unlink all except one of the 3820/3820i devices from the base. Send “:3820:BT_NAMname.”, where name is the new image scanner name. If you wish to change the name of additional 3820/3820i devices, re-link them one at a time and repeat the “:3820:BT_NAMname.” command for each image scanner.
