CUSTOMIZING CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Using the Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure
your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like 
Resetting the Product Configuration
to Defaults, starting on page 31
, require  only  the scan of that single label to enact the
change. 
Most  of  the  programming  labels  in  this  manual,  however,  require  the  reader  to  be
placed  in  Programming  Mode  prior  to  scanning  them.  Scan  an  ENTER/EXIT  bar  code
once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, you can
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™ Utility
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configura-
tion application which is available for free download from the Datalogic website listed
on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program allows device con-
figuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can
also create configuration bar codes to print.
Datalogic  Aladdin™  is  a  multi-platform  utility  program  providing  a  quick  and  user-
friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. The Aladdin utility is
available on the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by select-
ing  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  provides  the  ability  to  perform  a  software  upgrade  for  the  connected
device (see the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
Interface Settings
The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. See 
Appendix B, Standard Defaults.
Global Interface Features, starting on 
page 35 provides settings configurable by all inter-
face types. If your installation requires you to further customize your reader, you can
select other options through use of the instructions and programming bar codes avail-
able in the appropriate section for your interface.
