Introduction

Your new scanner has been configured at the factory with default settings.

Many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements. Therefore, Metrologic
provides a wide range of configurable features that may be selected using this bar code based
configuration tool. Once the configuration is completed, the scanner stores the settings in
nonvolatile memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is turned off.

Note: Every bar code with an “ * ” (asterisk) is a default setting.

Bar codes with a “~” (tilde) require multi-code configuration method.

Directions

The MetroSelect class of scanners can be bar code configured in two ways: Single Code
Method and Multi-Code Method.

Single Code Method: Most features can be enabled or disabled using the single code
method. Scan the bar code next to the feature. The scanner will give a “good scan” beep. A
multi-tone beep will follow to indicate the configuration has been saved to NOVRAM.

Multi-Code Method: All features can be enabled or disabled using the multi-code
method. A feature with a “~” requires the multi-code method. To use the multi-code
method, scan the “Enter/Exit Configuration Mode” code. Next, scan the codes for the
needed feature. Then scan the Enter/Exit Configuration Code to exit and save the configura­tion changes. To abort a configuration change, power off the scanner before scanning the
Enter/Exit code.

Bar Code Configuration Methods

Single Code Method

1. Power up scanner

2. Scan the bar code for the desired feature

3. Observe a “good scan” beep, quickly followed by a multi-toned,
“save setting” beep.

Multi-Code Method

1. Power up scanner

2. Scan Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code

(3 beeps)

3. Scan bar code for the desired feature

(1 beep)

4. Scan Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code

(3 beeps) and save new configuration.

Need to start over?

Use the Recall Default bar code. This will erase all previous settings and return to the scanner’s default
communications protocol.

-Keyboard Wedge interface scanners will load keyboard wedge defaults.

-All other scanners load RS-232 defaults.

Note: Metrologic manufactures custom OEM scanners which load the OEM’s defaults. Section N will
explain how this affects “Metrologic Defaults.”
