PROGRAMMING
ABOUT PROGRAMMING YOUR SCANNER
This PRG lists the master defaults for the Magellan 900i. These master defaults can be mod-
ified depending on the configuration file loaded into the scanner at the time of manufac-
ture. This allows the user to customize and adapt the scanner performance for their
changing needs. Specific configuration settings are also optimized for the active host inter-
face. Datalogic Technical Support can assist with creating custom configurations.
The scanner is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified
to accommodate your system’s unique requirements.
If you need to change these settings, custom programming can be accomplished using one
of the following methods:
Using the Programming Barcodes
The programming bar code labels contained in this manual will allow you to customize and
configure features and settings for your scanner. Go to "
Programming with Barcodes" on
page 12
to get started.
Datalogic Aladdin™
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration
application which is available for free download from the Datalogic website.
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the USB-COM interface. 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 bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also facilitates image capturing. In addition, Aladdin also provides the possibility to
perform a software upgrade for the connected device. See the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-
Line for more details.
Aladdin is available for download free of charge on the Datalogic website.
NOTE
When you program the scanner using either of the methods listed above, the scanner
will store the changes until reprogrammed or returned to factory defaults.
