Programming Session - Datalogic Magellan 1500i Product Reference Manual

Programming Session

A typical programming session is conducted as follows:
1. Scan the
Programming Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scan-
ner may emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and the
green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Pro-
gramming Mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled.
Scan the programming bar code(s) to make the desired changes. The beeper
will sound as programming barcode labels are scanned, indicating progress
during scanner configuration. The beep may vary depending upon the feature
being configured.
Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single
digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, do not
scan bar code (or any item tag/item value bar code) before completing all
input. To do so will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to exit
Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature you
were trying to set is not applied, but any previous bar codes scanned
during the session will still take effect.
2. Scan the
and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound a beep and reset
upon exiting Programming Mode, and the green LED will return to its usual
state (on steady or off).
3. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you know if the
original factory settings have been changed.
Product Reference Guide
Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code
Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will
sound an error tone when scanning programming bar codes for fea-
tures invalid to the current interface. Only features supported by the
currently active interface will be implemented.
NOTE
If a bar code is scanned that changes the scanner's interface, all previ-
ous configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.
NOTE
It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one fea-
ture at a time. Should you make a mistake in the programming
sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made
if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be
NOTE
confusing to determine which features may or may not have been
successfully set following such a session.
