Programming
Quick Reference Guide 29
Programming 
The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard default 
features. After scanning the interface bar code from the Inter-
faces section, select other options and customize your reader 
through use of the programming bar codes available in the 
Product Reference Guide (PRG). Check the corresponding 
features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing 
and Symbologies chapters.
Using Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfig-
ure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like the 
Standard Product Default Settings on page 29
, require only the scan 
of that single label to enact the change. 
Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Program-
ming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT 
bar code once to enter Programming Mode; scan the desired 
parameter settings; scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code again to 
accept your changes, which exits Programming Mode and re-
turns the reader to normal operation.
Configure Other Settings
Additional programming bar codes are available in the PRG to 
allow for customizing programming features. If your installa-
tion requires different programming than the standard factory 
default settings, refer to the PRG. 
Resetting Standard Product Defaults
Reference the PRG for a listing of standard factory settings. If 
you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, 
or you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings 
restored, scan the 
Standard Product Default Settings bar code be-
low to copy the factory configuration for the currently active 
interface to the current configuration.
Factory defaults are based on the interface type. Config-
ure the reader for the correct interface before scanning
this label.
