Programming Sequence
To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes contained in this manual
must be scanned in a given sequence depending upon the feature being programmed (as
shown in Tabl e 8). There are three possible programming sequences:
NOTE
If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that inter-
face configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming ses-
sion. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to
the stor
ed values for that interface type.)
A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) demonstrates how three bar
codes are scanned in sequence to do the following:
1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code).
2. Scan the Item Tag that will enable the new feature.
3. End the programming session and reset the scanner (Enter/Exit Programming Mode
bar code).
B. Sample B provides an example of a programming feature requiring the entry of a range
va
lue. Like sample A, the scanner is placed in Programming Mode and an Item Tag1 is
scanned. Then, a value must be entered before ending the programming session. In the
example, three digits must be scanned from the number pad in Appendix C. This type
of format, requiring several bar codes, is nec
essary to allow flexible programming for
item values with larger numeric ranges.
NOTE
Unless otherwise directed, item value settings (for example, label lengths)
are entered as decimal numbers. Only enter values as hexadecimal when
instructed to do so.
C. The programming sequence shown in example C requires scanning of a single,
extended length bar code. This special programming bar code contains all the data nec-
essary to enter Programming Mode, set the Item Tag
2
and Item Value, and exit Pro-
gramming Mode (all in one step).
1. Exception: If an interface bar code had been read while in Programming Mode, the scanner will operate on the default settings for
the new interface.
2. An “Item Tag” is a term used to describe an assigned number, which is encoded in a programming bar code, that toggles (selects,
enables, disables, etc.) a specific programming feature
