Rockwell Automation 2755-G6-D Scanner with RS-232 Option - Manual (Page 29)

Setup Instructions
Chapter 4
4–5
Configuration is the process of enabling or disabling
scanner operating parameters. The host system and
the types of bar codes that will be encountered will
determine which parameters should be enabled
or disabled.
Follow three basic steps when selecting parameters:
1. Review the rest of this manual to familiarize
yourself with each group of scanner parameters.
2. Review the requirements of your host system and
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 5 through 8.
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 a label to enter
or exit configuration mode.
Most parameters are set by scanning one label. For
example, assume that to be compatible with your host
system, the scanner’s baud rate setting must be
changed from its default value of 9600 to 2400 baud.
To make this change, locate the baud rate bar code
menu in Chapter 5 and scan the label to the left of
2400 Baud. The correct label is shown below.
DD 2400 Baud
A successful scan is indicated by two short-high
beeps. An unsuccessful scan produces no beeps and
requires you to rescan the bar code.
Most parameters are modified in this way. When you
are finished with modifications you can resume
normal bar code scanning.
