Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your
reader. Some programming barcode labels, like the
Standard Product Default Settings on
page 9 , require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming
labels in this manual, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to
scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enterProgramming Mode. Once the
reader is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning
the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Program-
ming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
Select the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed directly to
Interfaces on page 11 for information and programming for the interface type the reader is
connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate bar-
code in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.
Configure Interface Settings
If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, your installation requires
you to select options to further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate section for your
interface type as listed below:
• RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 47
• Keyboard Interface, starting on page 73
• USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 87
• IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 89
Configure Other Features
If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings,
the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific settings you
might require:
General Features
— General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and LED
indicators and other such universal settings.
Symbologies
—
Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies). These set-
tings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.
NOTE
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instruc-
tions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.
