Multiple Scanner Operation
Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 3 scanners to one base or 
Access Point. You cannot join a 4th scanner until you unlink one of the 3 scanners or 
take a scanner out of range.
Note: A base can only have on Xenon XP 1952-BF scanner linked to it.
To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the barcode below. Once you 
scan this barcode, the scanner is unlinked from the base or Access Point and must 
either be placed into the base, or you must scan the Access Point linking barcode in 
order to relink.
Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes. 
For example, you may want to have a unique identifier for a scanner that is 
receiving imaging commands sent from the base or Access Point.
The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX”  If you 
have more than one scanner linked to a base, and they all have the same name, the 
first scanner linked to the base receives commands. When renaming a series of 
scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the base.
Perform the rename operation using either the barcodes on page 69, or by sending 
the serial command :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName is 
the current name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the scanner. If 
you wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time and 
repeat the :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. command for each scanner.
