PROGRAMMING
The  reader  is  factory-configured  with  a  set  of  standard
default  features.  After  scanning  the  interface  bar  code
from the Interfaces section, select other options and cus-
tomize your  reader through use of  the  programming bar
codes  available  in  the  PowerScan™  PD96XX  PRG.  Check
the corresponding features section for your interface, and
also  the  Data  Editing  and  Symbologies  chapters  of  the
PRG.
Using Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains bar codes which allow you to recon-
figure  your  reader.  Some  programming  bar  code  labels,
like the bar code "Reset Default  Settings" below, require
only the scan of that single label to enact the change. 
Other  bar  codes  require  the  reader  to  be  placed  in  Pro-
gramming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/
EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode; scan the
desired parameter settings; scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code
again  to  accept  your  changes,  which  exits  Programming
Mode and returns the reader to normal operation.
Configure Other Settings
Additional  programming  bar  codes  are  available  in  the
PRG  to  allow  for  customizing  programming  features.  If
your installation requires different programming than the
standard factory default settings, refer to the PRG. 
Resetting Product Defaults
If  you  aren’t  sure  what  programming  options  are  in your
reader, or you’ve changed some options and want your cus-
tom factory settings restored, scan the bar code below to
reset the  reader to  its  initial configuration. Reference the
PRG for other options, and a listing of standard factory set-
tings.
Reset Default Settings
NOTE: Factory defaults are based on the interface
type.  Be  sure  your  reader  is  configured  for  the
correct  interface  before  scanning  this  label.  See
"Selecting the Interface Type" on page 7 for more
information.
