Introduction

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Barcodes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface barcode, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming barcode labels available in the corresponding features section for
your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Using
Barcodes" starting on page 37.
Some programming labels, like
the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in
Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter
Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter
settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your
changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available on the CD-
ROM provided with your product, and also from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to
program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical
interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the selected
communication interface, or they can be printed as barcodes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see the
Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
