PROGRAMMING THE READER
Configuration Methods
Programming Bar Codes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning
the interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through
use of the instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding
features section for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in
Configuration Parameters, starting on page 33.
Some programming labels, like “Restore Custom Defaults”, require only the scan of the
single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Pro-
gramming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter
Programming  Mode.  Once  the  reader  is  in  Programming  Mode,  scan  a  number  of
parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code 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 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 bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also facilitates image capturing.
In  addition,  Aladdin  makes it  easy to upgrade the  handheld’s  firmware,  to  attain  the
benefits of new reader features. Reference the Datalogic Aladdin™ Online Help for more
details.
Aladdin is available for download free of charge on the Datalogic website.
NOTE:  There  are  some  exceptions  to  the  typical  programming  sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instructions care-
fully when configuring each programmable feature.
