Voyager 1602g User Guide 53
Your wireless system can have up to 6 scanners linked to one host. You can also
have up to 6 work groups. If you want to have all of the scanners’ settings pro-
grammed alike, you don’t need to use more than one work group. If you want each
scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter),
then you may program each scanner to its own unique work group and may pro-
gram each scanner independently. For example, you might want to have multiple
work groups in a retail/warehouse application where you need to have different
data appended to barcodes used in the warehouse area versus the retail area. You
could assign all the scanners in the retail area to one work group and those in the
warehouse to another. Consequently, any desired changes to either the retail or
warehouse area would apply to all scanners in that particular work group. Honey-
well’s online configuration tool, EZConfig for Scanning (page 172), makes it easy
for you to program your system for use with multiple scanners and multiple work
groups.
The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scanner is
connected or reconnected to a host, the scanner is updated with the latest settings
from the host for its work group The scanner also receives menu setting changes
processed by the host. If a scanner is removed from a host and linked to another
host, it will be updated with the new host settings for whatever work group to which
that the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner was in work
group 1 linked to the first host, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second host
with the associated settings.
Application Work Group Selection
This programming selection allows you to assign a scanner to a work group by
scanning the barcode below. You may then program the settings (e.g., beeper vol-
ume, prefix/suffix, data formatter) that your application requires. Default = Group 0.
