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.

connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors
may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader
remain the same.

Product Reference Guide 7

Getting Started

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 9, 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 enterProgramming 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
described above. Please read the description and setting instruc­tions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.

NOTE

Select the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed directly to

Interfaces on page 11 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 section for your
interface type as listed below:

• RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 47

• Keyboard Interface, starting on page 73

• USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 87

• IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 89

Configure Other Features

If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings,
the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific settings you
might require:

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

NOTE

when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired
while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The

Scanning Features

Scan Mode

Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:

Scanning Features

Trigger Single —

When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the fol-

lowing occurs:

- Scanning Active Time has elapsed

- a label has been read

- the trigger is released

This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is
pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read,
or the maximum Scanning Active Time has elapsed.

Trigger Hold Multiple —

When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product
scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same
label while in this mode.

Trigger Pulse Multiple —

When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated

until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again.

Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this

mode.

Flashing —

The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is
controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the reader reads con­tinuously, when Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.

Always On —

No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on.

If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read

Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Stand Mode —

No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on au­tomatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the
reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple
reads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Object Sense —

This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull

is required to activate the decoder.

Wedge Quiet Interval

This option specifies the amount of time to look for keyboard activity before the read­er breaks the keyboard connection in order to transmit data to host. The selectable
range for this feature is from 0 to 990ms in 10ms increments.

This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.

NOTE

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 two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.

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

4. Scan the barcode: SELECT WEDGE QUIET INTERVAL SETTING.
