Product Reference Guide
A new scanner may have been shipped from the factory with a Null
Interface (no interface type selected) to ensure system compatibility at
installation. In this case, the correct Interface Type programming bar
code must be scanned first before the scanner can be used with a POS
system.
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.)
To select the desired interface:
Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type, since
you can cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by
attempting to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make
interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED.
When an interface is selected, the scanner loads the factory configu-
ration for that interface as the selection is made, erasing any and all
custom configuration that may have previously been done.
1. Disconnect current interface cable(s) if currently connected.
2. Scan the SWITCH bar code
3. Scan the bar code representing the appropriate interface
located on the following pages. You'll need to cover any
unused bar codes adjacent to and on any facing pages to
ensure the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
4. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
Once the correct interface has been set, it will be necessary to proceed
to the appropriate pages in this manual that select parameters and
options for that interface. For example, if RS-232 is selected, turn to
the pages in this manual headed as features specific to the RS-232
interface.
5. Connect new interface cable(s).
