MetroSelect™

Introduction

Your new scanner has been configured at the factory with default settings.

Many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements. Therefore, Metrologic provides a wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this bar code based configuration tool. Once the configuration is completed, the scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is turned off.

Note: Every bar code with an “ * ” (asterisk) is a default setting.

Bar codes with a “~” (tilde) require multi-code configuration method.

Directions

The MetroSelect class of scanners can be bar code configured in two ways: Single Code Method and Multi-Code Method.

Single Code Method: Most features can be enabled or disabled using the single code method. Scan the bar code next to the feature. The scanner will give a “good scan” beep. A multi-tone beep will follow to indicate the configuration has been saved to NOVRAM.

Multi-Code Method: All features can be enabled or disabled using the multi-code method. A feature with a “~” requires the multi-code method. To use the multi-code method, scan the “Enter/Exit Configuration Mode” code. Next, scan the codes for the needed feature. Then scan the Enter/Exit Configuration Code to exit and save the configura- tion changes. To abort a configuration change, power off the scanner before scanning the Enter/Exit code.
