Chapter 1 — Introduction to Programming the SR60 Scanner
What Is Programming Mode?
The scanner must be placed in Programming mode in order to accept programming commands. You place the scanner in Programming mode by scanning the SET bar code, which appears first in each set of programming bar codes in this manual. While in the Programming mode, the scanner recognizes only the special programming bar codes contained in this manual.
To understand how the LEDs and beeper behave while the scanner is in Programming mode, see “About the Scanner LEDs and Beeper” on page 6.
What is a Programming Session?
A typical programming session is conducted as follows:
1Scan the SET bar code at the beginning of each set of programming bar codes to place the scanner in Programming mode. The scanner emits three beeps, indicating it has read the bar code, and the green LED flashes on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled.
2Scan the programming bar codes that are specially encoded to make changes. With few exceptions, the scanner emits a triple beep each time you scan a valid bar code. Be aware of these considerations:
•Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label length by scanning a series of single- digit bar codes. A single good read beep sounds when scanning these single digits in Programming mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence produces a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.
•Not all features are available for all interfaces. The scanner sounds an error tone if you scan programming bar codes for features invalid to the current interface. Only features supported by the currently active interface are implemented.
•If you scan a bar code that changes the interface type, all previous configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.
