Chapter 6
Programming Via Configuration Bar Code Symbols
6–6
Enter Configuration Mode
To configure the decoder using the bar code menu symbols, the decoder must be placed into the
configuration mode by scanning the
Enter Configuration Mode
symbol. Configuration bar code symbols
can then be scanned until all configuration changes are complete. To resume normal operation, the
Exit
Configuration Mode
symbol is scanned. The
Enter Configuration Mode
and
Exit Configuration Mode
symbols provide an extra safeguard against inadvertently reconfiguring the decoder. When the decoder
is in the configuration mode, scanning normal bar code symbols generates a syntax error, but will not
change any configuration.
Reset
Reset
tests and verifies the contents of EEPROM,initiates the
ROM/RAM self tests, and configures the decoder according to the
contents of EEPROM.
Note: When using a hand–held scanner (gun) do not hold the
trigger during reset or power up. If you hold the trigger, the decoder
will act as if a wand is connected. The decoder will not recognize any
laser scanners until it is reset by sending an escape sequence, or by
turning the decoder OFF and then ON.
Default Configuration
This symbol returns the decoder
to the default settings listed in
Appendix A.
Show Configuration
The
Show Configuration
command generates the Configuration Display
Screen, which summarizes the decoder’s current configuration.
For an explanation of the Configuration Display Screen, refer to page
5–7.
