Programming Session
A typical programming session is conducted as follows:
1. Scan the SET bar code at the beginning of each set of program-
ming bar codes to place the scanner in Programming Mode.
The scanner will emit three beeps, indicating it has read the bar
code and the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the
scanner remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning
functions are disabled.
2. Scan the programming label(s) that is (are) specially encoded
to make the desired changes. With few exceptions

, the scanner
will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming
bar code.
Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan sin-
gle digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length,
scanning the END bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code)
before completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the
scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the
current feature you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous bar
codes scanned during the session will take effect.
1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s length by scan-
ning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single ‘good read’ beep is sounded when scanning these
single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a tri-
ple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.
NOTE
Not all features are available for all interfaces
and the scanner will sound an error tone when
scanning programming bar codes for features
invalid to the current interface. Only features
supported by the currently active interface will
be implemented.
NOTE
If a label is scanned that changes the scan-
ner’s interface, all previous configuration
items scanned in the programming session
are lost.
