Introduction
This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces and bar codes
for customizing the scanner's operation. Since the
scanner contains software enhancements and characteristics that set it
apart from other scanners, it is recommended that this guide be used as
the sole source of programming labels and information (except for other

The organization of this manual is intended to support a variety of users
while making it quick and easy to find the information you need. Look at
the descriptions that follow to find where to go from here.
product-specific publications).
Understanding the Basics
If you do not regularly use bar code labels to configure (program)
scanners, it will be very helpful to read the introductory portions of this
manual prior to beginning your programming session. In addition to the
information that follows, information of specific interest to you is titled:
— Integrating Peripherals with Host Systems
— Changing Interfaces
— Customizing Your Scanner Operation
— Programming Overview
— What is Programming Mode?
— How to Program Using Bar codes
— The Programming Session
— Scanner Response When in Programming Mode
— If You Make A Mistake
— Where to Go From Here
Integrating Peripherals With Host Systems
It's important to understand that the scanner must contain software and
hardware that supports a specific interface in order to use that interface.
The following pages describe interface hardware and list software interface groups available on current models.
QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus
Optimally, you'll want details about how your scanner was configured at
the factory before attempting to customize any settings. If you don't have
that information, contact your dealer for factory configuration information.
After determining the changes and/or additions you desire, locate the
programming labels and follow the related instructions in this manual to
adjust the scanner. Once you've completed these steps, you can begin
scanning.
Programming Guide 1
Changing Interfaces
To change a scanner's interface…
Hardware
If necessary, replace the scanner's interface cable to match the new host
terminal's connection requirements. To disconnect the cable from the
scanner, insert a .050” hex driver or bent paper clip into the CABLE RELEASE hole, and press down to unlock the cable connector. Reference
Figure 1.
NOTE
We recommend that you disconnect power before plugging/
unplugging cables to avoid any possibility of equipment damage.

1. Verify that your scanner supports the desired interface1. The list
on the following page indicates interfaces available at the time of
this writing. Your scanner comes equipped from the factory with
the ability to connect and communicate with at least two major
interface types. For example, OCIA/RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge/
Wand Emulation are two common pairings. Contact your nearest service
depot if you don't know your scanner's interface group, or need to have the
scanner altered to change to another I/F group.
1 Contact your dealer if your desired interface is not listed. Interface group definitions
are subject to change without notice.

2. Turn to the appropriate page in this manual and enable the
desired interface or interface sub-type by scanning its programming bar code. These interface/interface sub-type
selection bar codes are located at the beginning of each of
these sections of the manual: IBM, OCIA, Wand Emulation,
RS-232, and Keyboard Wedge. This will enable the software
for the new interface and disable the 'old' interface software.
Once enabled, the new interface becomes the default interface that is active whenever power is applied to the scanner.
3. Scan a bar code to verify that the scanner communicates
correctly with the host system. Some sample bar codes are
provided on the last pages of this manual. If any changes to
the scanner's factory settings are needed, use the instructions
titled, Customizing Your Scanner Operation.
Programming Guide 3
Customizing Your Scanner Operation
When enabling a new interface, it may be necessary to modify the original factory
settings to match your specific host system's communication and symbology
requirements. Check with your system administrator to identify your host system's
specific interface requirements to ensure that they match the new interface you've
selected. Also, the scanner's operational features, such as speaker volume, can be
customized to match your unique requirements.
1. Use the labels in this manual to modify the standard configuration to
match your specific interface requirements or user preference.
NOTE
Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the
current interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid
in the RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an error tone (six
rapid beeps) when scanning programming labels for features
invalid to the current interface.
2. Enable any additional symbologies as required and exit
Programming Mode.
3. Scan a regular bar code label and verify that the scanner and
host communicate correctly.
4. You have completed the factory settings change procedure.
If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional information, contact your local distributor using the listings located on the
back cover of this guide.

QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus
Programming Overview
This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features. These
features can be configured using the bar code labels contained in this manual or by
using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix A, Additional Information,
for host programming details. If you program the scanner using these bar codes, the
scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed.
What Is Programming Mode?
To change the scanner's programmed settings, it is necessary to place the
scanner in Programming Mode using the special SET label. This ensures
that the scanner only recognizes the special programming labels contained in this programming guide.
How To Program Using Bar Codes
The following pages contain special bar code labels that are used to
change or enable the scanner's programmable options. All programming
sessions follow this order, unless otherwise instructed:
1. Scan the SET label at the top of the page. The scanner will
emit a 'good read' beep, indicating it has read the label.
2. Scan the feature label(s) for the programmable options
you wish to enable. With few exceptions1, the scanner will
emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming
label. (Note that not all features are available for all interfaces and that the scanner will sound an error tone when
scanning programming labels for features invalid to the
current interface.)
3. Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to complete
the programming session and exit Programming Mode. The
scanner will sound one 'good read' beep upon exiting
Programming Mode.
4. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that
you know if the original factory settings have been changed.
1 Some features, such as Minimum Label Length or Label ID, require you to select the length
by scanning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single 'good read' beep is sounded
when scanning these single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit
in the sequence will produce a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully
programmed feature.
Programming Guide 5
The Programming Session
It is possible to program multiple features during a single programming
session (a programming session is defined as the period of time between
scanning the “set” label and scanning the “end” label). However, it is recommended
that sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult to discover where an error
has been made, should you make a mistake in the programming sequence. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been
successfully set following such a session.
The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the END label is scanned.
Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scanning the END label,
will cause the scanner to forget any programming labels scanned during the current
programming session and will cause the scanner to return to its previous settings.
Scanner Response When In Programming Mode
As discussed earlier, Programming Mode is entered by scanning a SET
label. The green LED will flash continuously at 1Hz duty cycle while the
scanner is in Programming Mode. As long as it is in Programming Mode,
the scanner will not decode regular bar code labels and will only enable
features supported by the currently active interface.
Scanning regular (non-programming) bar code labels — the
scanner will reject the label, sounding an error tone (six rapid
beeps).
Scanning a valid programming label —
a. If the feature is supported by the active interface, the
scanner will sound three beeps.
b. If incorrect programming has been entered, the error tone
will be sounded (six rapid beeps). Additionally, when
programming a feature requiring you to scan single digits
to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label
Length or Label ID, scanning the END label before
completing all input will result in an error tone and cause
the scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under these
circumstances, the current feature you were trying to set
is thrown out; any previous labels scanned during the
session will take effect.

QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus
If You Make a Mistake...
If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner's
settings or wish to reset the scanner's configuration, use the Return to Factory
Settings label on this page to return the scanner's configuration to the factory settings.
Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming
sessions.
Return to Factory Settings
Scan this label to return the scanner to the default settings configured at the factory for
your scanner’s original interface specifications. This label is typically used to return the
scanner to a “known” operating state when the present programming status is not
known, faulty, or suspect.
WARNING
Use this label with caution, since it will disable ALL features that
may have been programmed since the scanner’s installation.
If you don't have a record of your site/system's original configuration, you may need
to call your nearest service depot for assistance to return the scanner to normal
function. Please be prepared to provide information about the store/chain, location,
POS system and other pertinent information about the scanner being repaired.
Programming Guide 7
Where To Go From Here
Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. If you are changing interfaces, first connect the scanner to the new host
using the new interface cable. Scan the interface enable bar code label1 .
2. Scan any feature labels that are unique to the interface you are currently
programming. These interface specific programming labels immediately follow each interface selection label.
3. Turn to the Symbology section if you are going to change any bar code
symbologies or modify any symbology related features.
4. Turn to the General Features section of this guide if you wish to
change or modify any of the scanner's other features.
Once the necessary changes have been made, and you have scanned the END label,
you are ready to scan.
1 This step is not necessary for QuickScan 6000 Plus scanners, unless you require a
specific interface sub-type such as SNI OCIA or IBM sub-type 4682/92 Port E.
Interface software is automatically selected when the QuickScan 6000 Plus hardware
connection (via a new interface cable) is made.

Handshaking
Review your system documentation to identify handshaking requirements,
and use these labels to change the settings if required. The following brief
descriptions explain each selection.
Hardware Control
CTS/RTS Flow Control — is hardware handshaking. The
scanner activates the RTS (Ready to Send) line when it is ready to
send data to the host. The scanner waits for an active Clear to
Send (CTS) signal from the host before transmitting data. If
hardware control is disabled, CTS/RTS communication will not
take place. If the host deactivates the CTS line during data transmission, the host will receive additional characters for no more
than 2msec1.

Software Control
XON/XOFF — this is software handshaking that allows the host to
control data transmission. If the host sends an XOFF command to
the scanner, the scanner will not send the bar code data until it
receives an XON command from the host. If the host sends the
XOFF command during data transmission, the host will receive
additional characters for no more than 2msec1.
NOTE
Hardware/software controls are mutually exclusive. Enable only one
of these features at a time, as enabling multiple controls can produce
unpredictable results.

before it is sent to the host. This time delay is used to control the flow of
data from the scanner, but it should not be required for most applications.
Use these labels to select the desired Intercharacter Delay.

PC Keyboard Wedge –
Connect to a Laptop/No Keyboard Attached
If no keyboard is attached, the scanner must provide the acknowledge
signal to the PC. In this case, enable the "Laptop/No External Keyboard"
mode. If a keyboard is attached, enable "Keyboard Attached".
Laptop (integrated keyboard) — scan the "Laptop/No External Keyboard" label below when the scanner is connected to a laptop computer
or when the scanner is operated with no external keyboard attached.
PC (external keyboard) — if you move the scanner to a standard PC,
change the setting to "Keyboard Attached".
Send Control Characters — when this feature is disabled, all ASCII
characters except NUL (00h) are transmitted. Enabling this feature limits
transmission of ASCII characters to the following:
• Only ASCII characters between 20h..127h, plus…
- Carriage Return (CR=0Dh)
- BackSpace (BS=08h)
- Right Tab (HT=09h)
- Left Tab (0Bh)
- Esc (1Bh)
