  • Page 5: Understanding The Basics

    Introduction This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces and bar codes for customizing the scanner's operation. Since the QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus scanner contains software enhancements and characteristics that set it apart from other scanners, it is recommended that this guide be used as the sole source of programming labels and information (except for other QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus product-specific publications).

  • Page 6: Changing Interfaces

    For example, OCIA/RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge/ Wand Emulation are two common pairings. Contact your nearest PSC service depot if you don't know your scanner's interface group, or need to have the scanner altered to change to another I/F group.

  • Page 9: Programming Overview

    Programming Overview This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features. These features can be configured using the bar code labels contained in this manual or by using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix A, Additional Information, for host programming details. If you program the scanner using these bar codes, the scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed.

  • Page 11: If You Make A Mistake

    If you don't have a record of your site/system's original configuration, you may need to call your nearest PSC service depot for assistance to return the scanner to normal function. Please be prepared to provide informa- tion about the store/chain, location, POS system and other pertinent information about the scanner being repaired.

  • Page 12: Where To Go From Here

    Once the necessary changes have been made, and you have scanned the END label, you are ready to scan. This step is not necessary for QuickScan 6000 Plus scanners, unless you require a specific interface sub-type such as SNI OCIA or IBM sub-type 4682/92 Port E. Interface software is automatically selected when the QuickScan 6000 Plus hardware connection (via a new interface cable) is made.
