PowerScan Setup
The PowerScan
The following section provides programming bar codes to be scanned by the handheld.
About Programming Labels
Programming bar codes have two configuration commands. $+ is a start string that the
handheld scanner recognizes as a programming code and places the scanner into programming
mode. In the bar code shown in the next paragraph, RF0001 is the command to set the
handheld address to 0001. RN0 is the command that transmits that address to the base and
links the pair. $- ends the label and exits programming mode. Labels can be created for
additional base stations in bar code symbology Code 128. Using this syntax, addresses can be
assigned in the range of 0001 to 1999.
Linking the PowerScan to the Base
During configuration activities the PowerScan handheld scanner needs to be "linked" to the
base station so that bar codes scanned by it are transmitted to the base. To do this, scan the base
station address label below, which addresses both the handheld and the base, and links the two
together.
To set the base station address, scan one of these labels, then place the handheld in the base
station:
