Programming Sequence

To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming barcodes contained
in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the
feature being programmed (as shown in Table 6-1). There are three possi-
ble programming sequences:
If the scanner's interface type must be changed, always be sure that inter-
face configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming ses-
sion. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to
the factory default for that interface type.)
A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) dem-
onstrates how three barcodes are scanned in sequence to do the
following:
1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar-
code).
2. Scan the Item Tag
3. End the programming session and reset the scanner
(SWITCH barcode).
B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature requir-
ing the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scanner is
placed in Programming Mode and an Item Tag
Then, a value must be entered before ending the programming
session. In the example, three digits must be scanned from the
number pad in
barcodes, is necessary to allow flexible programming for item val-
ues with larger numeric ranges.
C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires scan-
ning of a single, extended length barcode. This special program-
ming barcode contains all the data necessary to enter

barcode, that toggles (selects, enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.
