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
Table 3). There are three possible 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-
ming session. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configura-
tion items to the factory default for that interface type.)
A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format)
demonstrates how three bar codes 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 bar code).
B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature
requiring the entry of a range value. Like sample A, the scan-
ner is placed in Programming Mode and an Item Tag
scanned. Then, a value must be entered before ending the
programming session. In the example, three digits must be
scanned from the number pad in Appendix C. This type of for-
mat, requiring several bar codes, is necessary to allow flexible
programming for item values with larger numeric ranges.
C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires
scanning of a single, extended length bar code. This special
programming bar code contains all the data necessary to enter
Programming Mode, set the Item Tag
Programming Mode (all in one step).
1. An "Item Tag" is a term used to describe an assigned number, which
is encoded in a programming bar code, that toggles (selects, enables,
disables, etc.) a specific programming feature.
