Your new scanner has been configured at the factory with a set of default communication protocols. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, Metrologic provides a wide range of configurable features that may be selected with the use of this bar code configuration guide.
Bar Code Configuration Methods ONFIGURATION ETHODS Metrologic scanners can be bar code configured in two ways: the Single-Code Method and the Multi-Code Method. Single-Code Method Most features can be enabled or disabled using the Single-Code Method. Power up the scanner.
All other scanners will load RS-232 defaults. Metrologic manufactures custom OEM scanners, which load the OEM’s defaults. For further information on the affects they have on Metrologic default communications protocols refer to Section N, Custom Defaults, in Book 2. Recall Defaults ³...

Keyboard ECTION ONTROL In general, standard bar code symbologies will only encode the ASCII character set. Function keys, arrow keys and many other “extended” keys on an IBM compatible keyboard do not translate to ASCII characters. One method of “bar coding” the extended keys is to substitute the extended key codes when a specific ASCII control character found in the bar code stream.
