Technical 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 programming session.
(Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to the fac-
tory 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 configuration
for that interface as the selection is made, erasing any and all custom config-
uration 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 adja-
cent to and on any facing pages to ensure the scanner reads only the
bar code you intend to scan.
