Note:

For additional information on programming the SCANTEAM 3700PDF CCD reader, refer

The SCANTEAM 3700PDF Reader is programmed by scanning bar code symbols

included in the SCANTEAM PDF417 Programming Menu. The menus contain the bar

code symbols you scan to:

Enter the programming mode

Select application options

Exit the program mode

As you scan the bar code symbols, the information represented by the bar code symbols

is stored in the reader's non–volatile PEROM memory. If the unit is turned off, the

non–volatile PEROM memory retains the programmed application options.

Note:

To program the unit by scanning the bar codes in the SCANTEAM PDF417 Programming

Menu, the trigger mode must be set to AutoTrigger or the external trigger signal must be

used. If the unit is not in AutoTrigger mode or no external trigger signal is used, you must

use the serial menu commands located in the SCANTEAM PDF417 Programming Menu.

Note:

The SCANTEAM 3700PDF scanner stores configuration parameters in flash memory.

Saving configuration parameters more than 1000 times exceeds the specifications of the

flash memory.
