Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader remain the same.

Programming

The reader is factory-configured with a set of default features standard. After scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available in the corresponding features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of this manual.

Using the Programming Barcodes

This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your reader. Some programming barcode labels, like the "Standard Product Default Settings"on page 15, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence

Select the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed directly to "Interfaces"on page 17 for information and programming for the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate barcode in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.

Configure Interface Settings

If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, your installation requires you to select options to further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate sec interface type as listed below:

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, or you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings barcode below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current configuration.

Factory defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the reader for the correct interface before scanning this label.

Configuring the Interface

Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface type matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding chapter in this manual (also listed in Table 1) to configure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.

Unlike some other programming features and options, interface selections require that you scan only one programming barcode label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an interface selection barcode.

Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for

NOTE

five seconds. The scanner will change to a state that allows programming with barcodes.

To prevent a double read of the same label, the Double Read Timeout sets the minimum time allowed between reads of labels of the same symbology and data. If the unit reads a label and sees the same label again within the Double Read Timeout, the second read of the label will be ignored. Double Read Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read.

Label Gone Timeout

This feature sets the time after the last label segment is seen before the reader prepares for a new label. The timeout can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments. Label Gone Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.

2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.

3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming

4. Scan the barcode: SELECT LABEL GONE TIMEOUT SETTING.

5. Scan the appropriate three alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix E, Key-

pad representing the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a

two-beep indication after the last character.
