Program Entry Procedure 
The following example is a typical program entry procedure. 
1.  Disconnect scanner from the host terminal. 
2.  Apply power to the 7893 (or scan the Reset tag). 
3.  Scan the Program Mode tag. 
4.  Scan the two Hex tags corresponding to the worksheet number. 
5.  Scan appropriate Hex tags to enter parameters. 
6.  Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the parameters are entered. 
7.  Scan the Save and Reset tag. All parameter changes are saved and 7893 is reset (goes 
through initial power-up sequence). The 7893 now operates using the new program. 
Enter Specific Parameters (Shortcut Method) 
To enter only one specific parameter in a Parameter Program, scan the two numbered Hex tags 
that correspond to that Parameter Program. However, once the Parameter Program has been 
entered instead of immediately changing parameters with numbered Hex tags, use the lettered 
Hex tags to choose the one particular parameter to be changed. After the new parameter setting 
has been selected, the scanner immediately returns to Program Mode. If one decides to do 
additional programming with these parameter options, reenter the Parameter Program by 
scanning the two Hex tags again. 
The following figure shows how to proceed through a Parameter Program where shortcuts are 
used to change only one of the parameters. This figure presents the Parameter Program for Bar 
Codes 2 program parameters. Notice that once the Parameter Program has been entered, if the 
Hex A, Hex B, Hex C, Hex D, Hex E, or Hex F tag is scanned, the specific parameters that 
correspond to that tag can be entered. After recording the parameters, the scanner immediately 
returns to Program Mode. To return to programming, scan the  
Hex 1 and Hex 4 tags again and reenter the Parameter Program. From this point, enter either 
all parameters or another specific parameter.
