Programming
14 QuickScan™ QBT21X1
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 customize 
your reader through use of the programming bar codes avail-
able in the Product Reference Guide (PRG) or Datalogic Alad-
din™ configuration software (both available on the Datalogic
website).
Using Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfig-
ure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like the 
"Standard Product Default Settings" on page 14, require only 
the scan of that single label to enact the change. 
Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Program-
ming 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 installa-
tion requires different programming than the standard fac-
tory default settings, refer to the PRG. 
Resetting Standard Product Defaults
Reference the PRG for a listing of standard factory settings. If 
you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, 
or you’ve changed some options and want the factory set-
tings restored, scan the 
Standard Product Default Settings
 bar 
code below to copy the factory configuration for the currently 
active interface to the current configuration.
NOTE
Factory defaults are based on the interface
type. Configure the reader for the correct inter-
face before scanning this label.
