Bar Code Programming Menu

The FuzzyScan bar code commands are specially designed
Proprietary bar code labels which allow you to set the
FuzzyScan internal programming parameters. There are
System Command, Family Code and Option Code for
programming purpose.

Each programmable family and bar code command label is
listed on the same page with major system commands. The
detailed explanations and special programming flowchart are
printed on facing or following pages. You can read the
explanation and set the FuzzyScan concurrently.

A supplemental bar code command menu incorporates the
bar code command labels of System Command and Option
Code. As you set the FuzzyScan, open the bar code
command menu to find the option code page. You may scan
the desired family code and option code to set FuzzyScan. If
you want to change the programming family for multiple
settings, you need only turn over the programming page to
find next desired programming family.

System Command

System Command

System CommandSystem Command

The System Command is the highest level bar code
command which directs FuzzyScan to perform immediate
operations, such as entering programming mode
(PROGRAM), exiting programming mode (EXIT), listing
system information (SYSLIST), recovering to factory
preset configurations (M_DEFAULT) and so on. Please
note that all system commands will take a few seconds to
complete the operations. User must wait for the
completion beeps before scanning another bar code.

Family Code

Family Code

Family CodeFamily Code

The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired
programming family. FuzzyScan has already provided
more than one hundred programming families to meet any
specific requirements.

Option Code

Option Code

Option CodeOption Code

The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands
represented by “0–9”, “A–F” and finishing selection (FIN).
For most setting, you must select at least one option code
following the family code selection to set the desired
parameter for the selected programming family.

Programming Procedures

Programming Procedures

Programming ProceduresProgramming Procedures

As you scan the bar code command to select the desired
parameters, information about the final selected parameters
represented by the bar code commands are stored in the
FuzzyScan’s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile
memory. If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or
non-volatile memory retains all programming options. You
need not re-program the FuzzyScan if you want to keep the
existing configurations in the next power on.

The programming procedures of FuzzyScan are designed
as simple as possible for ease of setting. Most
programming families take the Single Scan Selection
programming procedure. But several programming families
have more complex and flexible programmable options,
and you must take Multiple Scans Selection, Cycling
Scan Selection or Dual Level Selection to complete their
programming procedures. Each kind of programming
procedure is listed in the following pages for your reference.
Please give careful attention to become familiar with each
programming procedure.

If the programming family must take multiple scans
selection, cycling scan selection, or dual level selection
procedures, the family of the programming menu will be
marked with the matched representing symbol of
Programming Category (P.C.) in bold font listed in the
following table. You can easily find the bold mark in the
programming menu, and refer to their flowcharts for details.
Before setting the FuzzyScan, please also refer to the
“Beeping Indications” listed in Appendix to understand the
details of programming beeping indications. It will be very
helpful for you to know the existing status while you are
programming the FuzzyScan.

If your application is known, you may select those known symbologies only to increase the reading speed and decrease the possibility of reading error. Furthermore, to add
the “Symbology ID” into the transmitted data is also helpful to identify the specific symbology.



Above symbologies marketed with * are enable as default. When you select “Auto”, the imager only read those symbologies marked with *.

When you set the minimum and maximum length of each symbology, please note the data length of scanned bar code doesn’t include star/stop characters.
