INTRODUCTION

Scanning a series of programming bar code labels can configure the scanner. The scanner must be properly powered before programming. During the programming mode, the scanner will acknowledge a good and valid reading with a short beep. It will give long beeps for either an invalid or bad reading.

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS

Programmable options are divided into 2 groups. The first group includes the options that show the general behaviour of the scanner. The second group sets the decoding parameters for each barcode symbology.

SCANNING INSTRUCTIONS

The Programming Guide barcodes should be scanned with a full charged set of batteries. The BLR2604 scanning distance is 60 cm.

4 General configuration

Start of Configuration

4.1 Scanning mode selection

The scanner becomes inactive as soon as the data is transmitted. It must be triggered to become active again.

In auto scan mode, the scanner is still active after the data is transmitted, but the successive transmission of the same bar code is not allowed when the trigger switch is pressed again.

4.2 Good read beeper tone selection

You can use this option to set frequency and / or duration of the buzzer after successful reading.

Start of Configuration

6.1 Prefix and suffix

This option allows you to append a prefix and/or a suffix to every message transmitted. There is no restriction in selecting prefix or suffix characters as far as the sum of the lengths of prefix and suffix is not greater than 10 digits. You must enable prefix/suffix with the BaracodaManager previously to configurate prefix and/or suffix (see 2604 protocol or BaracodaManager document)

1.

Select either prefix or suffix you are going to program by scanning the corresponding

Prefix

label

2.

Scan the character(s) you want from the enclosed

Suffix

ASCII table to set as prefix or suffix (be sure to enable full ASCII code 39 option before you start).

3.

Set

Read the “Set” label to set your choice into memory

6.2 Barcode identifier code selection

The scanners can transmit max.2-digit barcode identifier code for different types of barcodes. Use the labels to choose transmit or not transmit predefined barcode identifier code (ID’s are listed on section 1):

.

6.3 Barcode identifier code setting

Each of the series type scanners can set max.2 digits as barcode identifier code according to different barcode. The procedure is as follows:

1. Scan “Start of configuration” label

2. Scan “Barcode identifier setting code” label.

3. Scan the new code mark from ASCII table (max. two digits). For example, if one “AB” want for code mark then scan “A” and “B”.

4. Scan “Set” label.

5. Scan “ End of configuration” label.
