Setup Instructions

Chapter 4

4–8

Configuration is the process of enabling or disabling
certain scanner operating parameters. The host
computer/terminal and the types of bar codes that will
be encountered will determine which parameters
should be enabled or disabled.

Follow three basic steps to configure your scanner:

1. Review the rest of the manual to familiarize

yourself with each group of scanner parameters.

2. Review the requirements of your application

This will enable you to determine if the factory
defaults must be changed.

3. Enable or disable the relevant parameters by

scanning the bar codes in Chapters 4 through 7.
The section that follows describes this process.
All configuration bar code labels in this manual
are Code 128, Character Set B.

Scanning Menu Labels

The scanner does not have a distinct configuration
mode. Instead, it automatically recognizes and reacts
to labels you scan. You do not scan an enter or exit
label to begin or exit configuration mode.

Most parameters are set by scanning one label. For
example, assume your application uses Codabar
labels. By default, this symbology is disabled.

To select the Codabar symbology, locate the Codabar
menu in Chapter 7 and scan the label to the left of
Enable Codabar. The correct label is shown below.

VB

Enable
Codabar

A successful scan is indicated by two short-high
beeps. An unsuccessful scan produces no beeps
and requires you to rescan
the Codabar label.

Most parameters are modified in this way. When you
are finished with modifications you can resume
normal bar code scanning.
