  • Page 17: Hands Free

    Place the LS 3603 in the stand, and it automatically turns on in a blinking, hands-free mode. Any symbol passed over the red scan line will be decoded. To conserve power, after a short period of time of non-use, the scanner will operate in a reduced power mode.

  • Page 29: Chapter 2 Programming

    Chapter 2 Programming Overview Before programming, follow the instructions beginning on page 1-2 The LS 3603 is programmed by scanning appropriate bar codes. The bar codes are arranged in RS-232C, Wand and Synapse sections. Not all of the available parameters necessarily apply to your specific host systems. If, for example, the selected host is a wand emulator, and you enable Baud Rate, the parameter will be ignored until such time as a host recognizing that parameter is selected.

  • Page 30: Scanning Sequence Examples

    LS 3603 Product Reference Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases you need only scan one bar code to set a specific parameter. For example, if you want to add Code 39 to the Wand parameters, simply scan the Add Code 39 bar code in the Wand Code Types section. The LS 3603 will issue a warble tone, signifying a successful parameter entry.
