PowerScan™ PD9531-AR/PBT9501-AR/PM9501-AR
BC9xx0 Configuration
The BC9xx0 configuration can be performed in three ways: by using the 
Datalogic Aladdin
™
 software configuration program, by sending configura-
tion strings from the Host PC via the RS-232 or USB-COM interface or by 
r
eading configuration bar codes with the PowerScan
™
 9501-AR reader.
Serial Configuration
By connecting the BC9xx0 to a PC through an RS-232 or USB-COM interface 
cable it is possible to send configuration strings from the PC to BC9xx0.
Configuration Bar Codes
Link the cradle and the reader using the procedures described in the Power-
Scan
™
 PM9501-AR or PBT9501-AR Quick Reference. Once the pairing is 
complete, you can configure the BC9xx0 cradle by reading configuration bar 
codes in this manual. 
To configure the BC9xx0 using the PowerScan
™
 9501-AR reader (paired to 
the cradle with the Bind command), follow the procedure according to the 
interface selected.
Interface Selection
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, 
proceed to Table 2 on page 15 to select the interface type the reader is con-
nected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the 
appropriate bar 
code in that section to configure your system’s correct 
interface type.
Setting the Interface
Scan the programming bar code from this section which selects the appro-
priate interface type matching the system the reader will be connected to. 
N
ext, proceed to the corresponding section in this manual (also listed in 
Table 2 on page 15) to configure any desired settings and fea
tures associ-
ated with that interface.
Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections 
require that you scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT scan 
an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to scanning an interface selection bar 
code.
Some interfaces require the scanner t
o start in the disabled state when 
powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this 
state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will 
change to a state that allows programming with bar codes.
