INTRODUCTION If You Make a Mistake... If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner's Universal Keyboard Wedge settings or wish to re-set this configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings bar code on the next page to return all Universal Wedge parameters to their factory settings.
Return to Factory Settings Use the bar code below to return the scanner to the default settings configured at the factory for your scanner's original Universal Keyboard Wedge specifications. Other scanner programming (such as symbology selection and beeper settings) will not be affected.

COMMUNICATION MODES Communication Modes The Universal Keyboard Wedge interface offers several alternate modes to allow flexibility in communication between the scanner, its host, and even with other scanners. These modes are: • Keyboard Wedge Mode -- is the standard operational/communication mode.
COMMUNICATION MODES Keyboard Wedge Mode In this mode, the scanner is connected between the keyboard and the computer/host terminal (thus the term "wedge"). Scanned bar code data is processed by the scanner and emulated by the system as if it had been typed on the keyboard.

COMMUNICATION MODES Cloning Mode When a quantity of scanners must all be pro- grammed with identical parameter settings, Cloning Mode permits quick and easy duplication of those settings from a pre-programmed source scanner to a target scanner. To use Cloning Mode, follow these instructions: Program a source scanner with all the settings necessary to allow full functional- ity with your system.
