About the Reader Introduction

About the Reader

Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be accomplished by scanning the programming bar codes within this guide.

Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve the illumination Single Trigger or Continuous Mode, the ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable handling during extended periods of use.

See "Interface Selection" on page 8 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets by model type.

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Bar Codes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters"

starting on page 15.

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 13, require only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code 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 programmable feature.

Restore Custom Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the Custom Default Configuration that may have been saved in the scanner, scan the Restore Custom Default Configuration barcode below. This will restore the custom configuration for the currently active interface.

Custom defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the imager for the correct interface before scanning this label.

Restore Factory Configuration

If you want to restore the Factory Configuration for your imager, scan either the Restore USA Factory Configuration barcode or the Restore EU Factory Configuration barcode below. Both labels restore the scanner configuration to the factory settings, including the interface type. The USA label restores Label IDs to those historically used in the USA. The EU label restores Label IDs to those historically used in Europe. The Label ID sets for USA and EU are shown in the

“Label ID Control” section on page 49

of this manual.
