Programming the Reader
Configuration Methods
Programming Bar Codes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section
for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Param-
eters" starting on page 25.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 23, require only the scan of
the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Pro-
gramming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Program-
ming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings
before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes,
exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
NOTE
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described above. Please
read the description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each programma-
ble feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available for download
free of charge on the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting
configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These
commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface, or they can be
printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see
the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
