1 - 22 Symbol CS3000 Series Scanner Product Reference Guide

Configuring the Scanner

To configure the scanner for initial use:

1. Scan the parameter bar codes in Chapter 3, User Preferences and Chapter 4, Symbologies to customize

scanner operation.

2. Scan the Save Configuration bar code on page 3-22 (also provided below).

Save Configuration

3. For additional customization, edit the Config.ini file on the scanner using the options in Editing the

Configuration File on page 1-23.

4. CS3070 only: When deploying the new configuration to multiple scanners, to ensure unique CS3070 serial

numbers appear in the host’s discovery window, edit the

Config.ini file to either remove the BTName entry or

set it to blank (“BTName=”) to ensure that each scanner uses the default BT name of

CS3070:<serial number>.

Staging Multiple Scanners

After creating a config.ini file for one “golden” scanner with all desired settings, create a copy of the file from this

scanner and copy it to other scanners via USB connection. Set the time and date on the “cloned” scanners by

scanning bar codes from Set Date and Time on page 3-5.

NOTE When scanning parameter bar codes, scan each bar code within two minutes of the previous one. The

scanner enters sleep mode after two minutes of inactivity, and any parameter bar codes scanned and not

saved are ignored.

NOTE CS3070 only: When deploying the new configuration to multiple scanners, to ensure unique CS3070

serial numbers appear in the host’s discovery window, edit the Config.ini file to either remove the

BTName entry or set it to blank (“BTName=”) to ensure that each scanner uses the default BT name of

CS3070:<serial number>.

NOTE Before deploying the Config.ini file to multiple scanners, make the file read only to prevent users from

overwriting the file when scanning Save Configuration or Reset Factory Defaults on page 3-4.
