Configuring the RF Laser Reader for your computer and application
The RF Laser Setup Menu is located in Appendix J of this manual. This simple menu lets you easily configure the RF Laser to work with almost any computer system, and to tailor its bar code reading and data format characteristics.
Be sure to read the scanning instructions on the next page. To read Reader Setup Menu bar codes and configure your reader, you must know the right way to
scan bar codes.
These are the RF Laser Reader's default settings and are shipped configured to these settings; they can be reset to them at any time by scanning the Start Setup and Reset codes on the RF Laser Setup Menu.
