Customizing Configuration Settings
Using the Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to 
reconfigure your scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like 
"Resetting the 
Product Configuration to Defaults" 
on page 35, require only the scan of that single 
label to enact the change. Most o
f the programming labels in this manual, how-
ever, require the scanner to be placed 
in Programming Mode prior to scanning 
them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once 
the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter set-
tings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar
 code a second time, which will then 
accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal 
operation.
NOTE
There are some exceptions to the typ
ical programming sequence 
described above. Please read the description and setting instructions 
carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™ Utility
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ 
Configuration application which is available for free download from the Data-
logic website listed on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility 
pr
ogram allows device configuration 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 
use
r-friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. The 
Aladdin utility is available on the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to pro-
gram the scanner by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly 
graph
ical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the scanner 
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 con-
nected device (see the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
