Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner What Is the SR60? The Intermec SR60 is a laser scanner that is available in a standard range (SR) version or extended long-range (XLR) version. The XLR version allows you to scan bar code labels from as far away as 11 m (36 ft) depending on the labels you are using.
Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner How to Program the SR60 Scanner There are two ways for you to program the scanner: • You can scan programming bar codes to modify the scanner’s programmable features and options. This manual provides the bar codes and instructions necessary to configure the features and options.
Page 18
• Intermec recommends that you limit each programming session to one feature at a time. If 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.
Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner 3 Scan the END bar code to save any new settings and exit Programming mode. The scanner sounds a beep and resets upon exiting Programming mode, and the green LED returns to its usual state (on steady or off ).

Chapter 1 — Learning About Programming the SR60 Scanner This type of format may require up to six programming bar codes and is necessary to allow flexible programming with larger item- value numeric ranges. Sample C Programming sample C lets you scan a single, extended length bar code.
Integrating the Scanner With Your Host System Your scanner must be equipped with the correct hardware to properly communicate with your host system. Contact your local Intermec representative if you have questions about your scanner hardware compatibility. Intermec offers the following interface cables for the SR60 scanner: •...

Chapter 4 — Enabling and Configuring Symbologies Note: If you choose Expand for any of the following features, the transmission of the prefix, suffix, check digit, and NSD will be controlled by your selections for the symbology expanded to rather than the symbology expanded from. For example, if you expand OPC-E to UPC-A, the settings for UPC-A determine how the scanner sends the bar code contents.

Note: Due to the structure of add-on codes, selecting the optional setting makes it impossible to ensure that the scanner will always read the add-on portion of the label. Intermec makes no guarantee, either written or implied, that scanners with optional add-on decoding enabled will perform with the speed and accuracy required for any given application.
Custom Add-ons A wide array of add-on options are available to streamline your installation to its best advantage. For help with custom add-ons, contact Intermec Product Support.

Note: The more times the scanner is required to read and compare the bar code data, the longer the scanner takes to validate and transmit a label.
Configuring General Features This chapter explains how to configure the scanner features that are common to all interfaces. You will find these sections in this chapter: • Configuring the Green LED Idle State • Configuring the Beeper Settings • Configuring the Marker Beam •...
141 enable or disable the beep upon completion of a good read. Note: Intermec strongly recommends that you do not disable this feature. The good read beep provides the best scanning status feedback to the user. You cannot disable error tones.

Chapter 5 — Configuring General Features Note: For the loudest beep signal, set the beeper volume to 3 and the good read beep frequency to high. • The Good Read Beep Frequency bar codes on page 142 adjust the pitch of the beeper to low, medium, or high. •...

Chapter 5 — Configuring General Features Configuring the Marker Beam The Marker Beam feature provides the user with a spotter beam for improved aiming at distant bar code labels and/or in extremely bright environments. A Marker Beam can also be useful when scanning through showcase glass or scanning bar code menus containing bar codes printed with little space between them.
However, the microcontroller must reboot with every trigger pull, which causes a very small delay in scanning. Intermec recommends that you use this mode only when the scanner is connected to a battery-powered terminal.

The following bar codes provide for transition times of 0 (no delay), 2, 5, or 10 seconds delay. For other Low Power Shutdown Delay settings, contact Intermec Product Support. To set the Low Power Shutdown Delay option 1 Scan the SET bar code.
Chapter 5 — Configuring General Features 10 Seconds --------- END------------------------------------ Configuring the Half Angle When enabled, the Half Angle feature causes the scanner to scan with a scan angle that is approximately half the standard setting. Disabling the feature returns the scanner to the standard scan width.
