Programming Overview

The scanner's programmable feature settings can be modified to accommodate your system's
unique requirements. These settings can be communicated to the scanner in one of two ways:
1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host commands are avail-
2. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scanner's programmable set-

Programming via Handheld Device

The scanner can also accept programming via either its USB or auxiliary ports using a handheld
scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability to transmit the C128 1D and
Data Matrix 2D programming bar codes presented in this manual. Several Datalogic
handheld models support this functionality. Handheld data format requirements (baud rate,
parity, etc.) are presented in
the programmable feature, Aux Port Mode, must also be set to "External Handheld Input" to
allow operation.

What Is Programming Mode?

Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in order to accept commands
via programming bar code labels. When programming using the bar code labels in this manual,
the scanner is typically placed in Programming Mode by scanning the Enter/Exit Programming
Mode label.
While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes the special programming bar
codes contained in this programming guide. See
indications while in the Programming Mode.

Entering and Exiting Programming Mode.

When needed, an Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code is available at the top of each
programming page.

scanner's features and options.
When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scan-
ner will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory
defaults.

Your scanner will read the 2D programming bar codes in this manual while
in Programming Mode, regardless of whether 2D reading capability has
been enabled as an option.
