Programming Overview
The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to
accommodate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can
be communicated to the scanner in one of two ways:
1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of
host commands are available. Refer to
Appendix A: Additional
Information on page 143 for more details.
2. The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner
is to use the
Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programmining
Kit . Ask your dealer for more information about this product.
3. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the
scanner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the
bar code labels and instructions necessary to configure the
scanner’s features/options.
What Is Programming Mode?
Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in
order to accept programming commands. When programming using
the bar code labels in this manual, the scanner is typically placed in
Programming Mode by scanning the “SET” label at the top of most
programming feature pages.
While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes the spe-
cial programming bar codes contained in this programming guide. See
the section,
LED and Beeper Indicators on page 11 for information about
scanner indications while in the Programming Mode.
NOTE
When you program the scanner using any of
the methods above, the scanner will store the
changes until reprogrammed or returned to
factory defaults.
