Datalogic MAGELLAN 900i - Getting Started; Programming Mode

GETTING STARTED
PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE 13
Getting Started
After scanning the interface barcode from the Interface Related Features section, you can
select other options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions and pro-
gramming barcodes available throughout
Chapter 2, Programming of this manual.
Programming Mode
Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode found at the top of applicable pages once
to enter Programming Mode. After the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a
number of parameter settings before scanning the Enter/Exit Programming Mode barcode
a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode, reset the
scanner and return it to normal operation.
The scanner will exit Programming Mode under any of the following conditions:
— the programming sequence has been completed or the Enter/Exit Programming Mode
bar code is scanned.
— five minutes have passed without scanning activity. Any data programmed during the
current session will be ignored, and the scanner will reset and revert to its condition
previous to initiating the exited session.
— power is disconnected. Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scan-
ning the Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code, will cause all new settings to be
ignored

. On powerup, the scanner will return to previous settings.
While in Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes the special programming bar
codes contained in this programming guide. See Appendix A for information about scanner
indications while in the Programming Mode.
Some programming barcode labels require only the scan of that single label to enact the
change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the scanner to be
placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them.
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.
NOTE
While in Programming Mode, your scanner will read the 2D programming bar codes in
this manual regardless of whether 2D reading capability has been enabled as an
option.
1. Exception: If an interface bar code had been read while in Programming Mode, the scan-
ner will operate on the default settings for the new interface.
