The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of
default conditions noted in this guide by an asterisk that appears
before the brief definition. Since each host system is unique,
configure the scanner to match the specific host system
requirements.
1. Connect the scanner to the host system. (Refer to the
Installation and User’s Guide)
2. Enter the program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program
mode bar code.
3. Scan the appropriate the bar code(s) that appear in this guide.
(Reveal only one bar code to the scanner each time.)
4. Exit the program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code
again.

selected during that session or any previous session will be lost.
For other communications activate the protocol, i.e., OCIA, Keyboard Wedge, IBM. Then change all necessary parameters for
the protocol. Verify that the scanner hardware is equipped/configured for the appropriate interface.

Cloning allows the configuration of a scanner by making its settings
the scanner to transmit the current scanner configuration to an RS-
232 host. The scanner will transmit a sequential list of bar code data
that can be printed as UPC bar codes and used to configure another
While in the Program Mode, scan the Configuration bar code to allow
the same as another scanner. This is done by connecting the cloning
cable between the two scanners.
1. Turn off both scanners.

2. Connect the cloning cable between the two scanners.
3. Turn both the scanners on by plugging in the transformers.
4. Once each scanner is ready, scan the cloning bar code with

to the other scanner.
