Early Beep Disable

When optional add-on bar codes are programmed, the Early Beep function may need to be disabled. The Early Beep function should not be used on systems, including many IBM host terminals, that sends “scanner disable” commands during the scanning operation.

The optional add-on bar codes which may require disabling the Early Beep are:

Optional Add-On Bar Code	Parameter Type
Coupon with P5 optional	Coupon Select 1
Coupon with 128 add-on optional	Coupon Select 1
Markdown with 128 add-on optional	Coupon Select 1
Program 1 with 128 add-on optional	Coupon Select 1
Program 2 with 128 add-on optional	Coupon Select 1
Coupon & P5 or 128 optional (EAN-99)	Coupon Select 2

Use the following programming sequence to disable Early Beep in systems that are programmed with any optional add-on bar codes AND which use “scanner disable” commands.
