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 37.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults"on page 34, require only the scan of 
the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in 
Progr
amming 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.
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 is available on the CD-
ROM provided with your product, and also from the Datalogic website. 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 barcodes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for th
e connected device (see the 
Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
