The Programming Session; Scanner Response When In Programming Mode - Wasp Bar Code Laser Scanner Programming Manual

HE ROGRAMMING
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 deter-
mine 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.

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.
