3. A symbol that is presented to the scanner must be read 25 times consecutively to
be used as a valid symbol.
Once this is done the scanner will interpret the symbol data in the same fashion
as it interprets serial data.
4. Any valid command may be entered via symbols including operational commands.
Because the data is treated like serial input multiple symbols may be used to rep-
resent one command as long as the symbols are presented individually and in the
correct order.
5. Read rate command may also be used to enter read rate from symbol configura-
tion mode.
6. When in read rate, the scanner will read the symbologies that were enabled prior
to entering the configuration mode. However it will read a "<J>" in code 128
regardless of current enable/disable state of code 128.
Once the <J> is issued the scanner exit both read rate and symbol configuration.
To exit read rate and remain in symbol configuration, you present the start symbol
once again. Symbols read in read rate will not configure the scanner.
To start a read rate test, scan this symbol:
Exiting Symbol Configuration
There are multiple ways of exiting symbol configuration. The first way is to simply read
or serially enter the "<J>" command. Other ways include any command that executes a
software reset. These commands include the save family as well as the reset family e.g.
<Z>, <Zc>, <Zrd>, <Zrc>, <A>, <Arc> and <Ard>. When exiting symbol configura-
tion with the symbol "<J>," the scanner will beep in response.
To end the read rate test and the symbol configuration program, scan this symbol:
This will terminate symbol configuration mode. Changes made in configuration will
remain in effect just as would changes made in the menus or by serial commands.
