If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional infor-
mation, contact your local distributor, or call your dealer or sales represen-
tative.
Programming Overview
The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accom-
modate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be commu-
nicated to the scanner in one of two ways:
1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of
host commands are available. Refer to Appendix D for more
details or contact Tech Support.
2. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scan-
ner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the bar code
labels and instructions necessary to configure the scanner’s fea-
tures and options.
Programming via Handheld Device
The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a
handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability
to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes
presented in this manual. Datalogic
TM models QuickScan ® 1000 and
QuickScan ® 6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format
requirements (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in Appendix F of this
manual. Additionally the programmable feature, Aux Port Mode, must be
set to “External Handheld Input” to allow operation.
NOTE
When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scan-
ner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory
defaults.
