Metrologic Instruments IS8000 Primary/Secondary Configuration Note

The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default conditions

noted in the Default Settings section of this guide. In order for the scanner to

communicate with the host system, it will need to be properly configured. Since

each host system is unique, the scanner must be configured to match the host

system requirements. Use the MetroSet

2 Scanner Configuration Program

provided to configure the scanner.

Primary/Secondary Configuration Note

During configuration, the secondary scanner’s communication protocol will be

established automatically through the primary scanner. If the configuration is to

be downloaded from the host to the scanners, it is required that both the primary

and the secondary scanners are powered up and ready to scan. The appropriate

communications cables should be connected between the host and the primary

scanner and between the primary and the secondary scanner.

Once a configuration is downloaded to the primary scanner, the primary will

automatically configure the HoloTrak secondary scanner. This step is necessary

in order to configure the secondary scanner properly. For all practical purposes,

the scanners will act as one scanner. Once both units are configured, the

scanner settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, and will not need to be

configured again.
