Programming the Reader
Configuration Methods
Programming Barcodes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After
scanning the interface barcode, you can select other options and customize
your reader through use of the instructions and programming barcode labels
available in the corresponding features section for your interface. Customizable
settings for many features are found in "Configuration Using Barcodes" starting
on page 39.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 35, require
only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the
read
er to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an
ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in
Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the
ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit
Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instructions
carefully when configuring each programmable feature.
