Selftest diagnostics will cause the scanner to sound a long, low tone. When this occurs, error codes may be accessed by momentarily pressing the Volume/Tone Push Button.
Operation and Maintenance Once the scanner enters Normal Operation, it begins a countdown sequence. If there is no activity during a preset period of time (also called time-out ), the unit will shut off the laser and/or motor in order to pro- long the life of the electrical and mechanical components.
Additional Functions Additional Functions Additional scanner functions include programming, running scanner diagnostics, or initiating a reset. Programming Scanners are typically programmed at the factory to settings specified by the customer. Generally, POS system interface and bar code symbologies are pre-configured to operate in the target environment. con- Chapter 5 tains the necessary instructions, bar codes, and descriptions to program/...
Operation and Maintenance Scanner Reset As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on.

Programming Overview • Symbology Programming - gives the scanner the capability to auto- discriminate as few as one, and as many as all available symbologies. For optimal scanner performance enable only those symbologies required. Additionally the scanner may be programmed with the standard options available for the various symbologies, such as check digit, minimum label length, fixed and variable length bar codes, etc.
The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes ® presented in this manual. PSC models QuickScan 1000 and Quick- ® Scan 6000 support this functionality.
Programming Overview Programming Session A typical programming session is conducted as follows: 1. Scan the SWITCH bar code to place the scanner in Programming Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scanner may emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming Mode.
Page 54
Programming It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one feature at a time. Should you make a mistake in the programming sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have NOTE been successfully set following such a session.
Programming Overview Programming Sequence To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes contained in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the feature being programmed (as shown in ). There are three possi- Table 5-1 ble programming sequences: If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a program-...

If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner’s settings or wish to reset the scanner’s configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner’s configura- tion to the factory settings.
Programming RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS Test Mode Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or “demo” mode. This special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that bar code data is not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the bar code to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS terminal.

Scan the SWITCH bar code. 2. Scan your selection from the bar codes below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
Programming Standard 2 of 5 Maximum Label Length This feature specifies the maximum allowable length of a Standard 2 of 5 label. Length in this case includes check and data characters, but does not include start or stop characters. This feature applies when Standard 2 of 5 Length Control is set to variable-length decoding.
Standard 2 of 5 Enable Standard 2 of 5 Minimum Label Length This feature specifies the minimum allowable length of an Standard 2 of 5 label. Length in this case includes check and data characters, but does not include start or stop characters. This feature applies when Standard 2 of 5 Length Control is set to variable-length decoding.
Programming Standard 2 of 5 Fixed Length 1 This feature specifies Standard 2 of 5 first fixed length. This applies when Standard 2 of 5 Length Control is set to fixed- length decoding. NOTE To set this feature: 1. Scan the SWITCH bar code. 2.
Standard 2 of 5 Enable Standard 2 of 5 Fixed Length 2 This feature specifies Standard 2 of 5 second fixed length. This applies when Standard 2 of 5 Length Control is set to fixed-length decoding. If Fixed Length 2 is set to 00 (zero), then Fixed Length 1 will apply. NOTE To set this feature: 1.
Programming Standard 2 of 5 Stitching Enables/disables stitching for Standard 2 of 5 labels. When parts of a Stan- dard 2 of 5 bar code are presented to the scanner with this feature enabled, the bar code parts will be assembled by the scanner’s software, and the data will be decoded if all bar code proofing requirements are met.
