Configuration Using Barcode Symbols - Datalogic Lynx Instruction Manual

CONFIGURATION USING BARCODE SYMBOLS

2 CONFIGURATION USING BARCODE SYMBOLS
This section describes the programming method of using configuration barcode
symbols to program your reader. By using the LYNX™ reader to read/decode these
special configuration symbols, you can configure, and obtain information from its
system software.
When you are reading configuration barcode symbols, carefully aim the LYNX™ 2D
reader to avoid reading adjacent symbols.
The configuration barcode symbols in this chapter are divided into logical
sections according to the type of configuration required, (RS232 configuration,
Code selection, etc.). If arguments are required with a command, you can read
additional barcode labels (typically digits) from Appendix C.
To configure your reader:
Open the folded page in Appendix C the Hex/Numeric table and keep it open
1.
during the device configuration.
Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available on the folded page in
2.
Appendix C or in par. 2.2.1.
Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections by reading the
3.
parameter code and selecting the value from the Hex/Numeric table or by
following the given procedures.
= parameter available only for Lynx™ D402
Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available on the folded
4.
page in Appendix C or in par. 2.2.1.
Example:
To set the maximum length of characters in a Code 39 barcode symbol that the
reader will decode to 32:
•
first read the Maximum Length symbol for Code 39 on page 45.
•
then read the symbol for the digit "3" and lastly the symbol for the digit "2" in
Appendix C.
