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.

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:

General Features

indicators and other such universal settings.

Symbologies

tings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.

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.

NOTE

The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu commands
(indicated by shaded blocks and bold text) on the following pages.

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

NOTE

when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired
while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The
scanner will change to a state that allows programming with bar­codes.

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 Mode.

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

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

E, Keypad representing the duration which was determined in the steps above. You

will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
