Using the Barcode Scanner
You can use a barcode scanner to change the active dispense program. Use of the barcode scanning function
requires the following:
• The optional barcode scanner must be connected to the USB port on the dispenser. Refer to “Accessories” on
page49 for the scanner part number.
• The barcode for the workpiece must be assigned to a dispense program.
NOTE: A barcode can be assigned to only one dispense program. If the same (previously assigned) barcode is
assigned to a different program, then the barcode will be reassigned from the original program to the later program.

• UPC-A • UPC-E • EAN-8 • EAN-13
• Code32 • Code39 • Code128 • Code93
• Code11 • Codabar • Industrial 2 of 5 • Interleaved 2 of 5
