1. Position the optical reader so that the code to be read appears in the center of the image
and is focused sharply.
2. Click the "Full program" button to automatically generate a basic configuration of all
relevant parameters for simple reading tasks.
If necessary, you can also restart individual steps in the "Auto-setup" group, or you can
set individual parameters manually in the WBM.
Note
Automatic exposure
If the parameter "Exposure = Auto" is set, the code must be completely in the image after
the triggering until the automatic exposure is completed (approximate value: 50 ms).
3. Check the read result by enabling the "Formation of result" parameter in the "Result view"
group ("Application > Program").
4. Save the settings using the "Save program" or "Save program as" button.

Communication disruptions due to additional DHCP server
If you want to operate the optical reader as a DHCP server, there must be no other
DHCP/DNS servers in the network. Any additional DHCP/DNS servers disrupt
communication in the network.
In the delivery state, the optical reader is set to DHCP client and does not interfere with
communication in the network.
If the optical reader is connected using the "CONNECT" button, the optical reader is
automatically operated as a DHCP server.
Selecting the network configuration requires precise knowledge of the network environment
in which the optical reader will be used. In the simplest situation, the optical reader is
