Programming Overview
The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accom-
modate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be commu-
nicated to the scanner in one of three ways:
1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host
commands are available. Refer to
Appendix D for more details or
contact Tech Support.
2. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the scan-
ner’s programmable settings. This manual provides the bar code
labels and instructions necessary to configure the scanner’s features
and options.
Programming via Handheld Device
The scanner can also accept programming via its auxilliary port using a
handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability
to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes
presented in this manual. Datalogic models QuickScan
®
1000 and
QuickScan
®
6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format
requirements (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in
Appendix G of this
manual. Additionally the programmable feature,
Auxiliary Port Mode,
must be set to “External Handheld Input” to allow operation.
NOTE
When you program the scanner using any of the methods above, the scanner
will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory defaults.
