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.

The reading of the "Default
settings” label turns all the
parameters back to default settings.
When you intend to turn your
scanner back to default parameter,
please scans the "Start of
configuration" label first, then scan
"Default settings" label and finally
scan the "End of configuration"
label.
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.
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).

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”.
