3.6 How to Configure the Scan Engine with a 1D Menu Barcode
You can configure the scan engine to optimize its performance for your particular application by
scanning a series of 1D Menu barcodes specially designed to configure the required functions.
Note: 1D Menu barcodes encode an ID consisting of two to three alphanumeric characters. 1D
Menu barcodes are Code 39 labels with modified start/stop characters and therefore the scan
engine will not acknowledge a 1D menu barcode as a normal barcode.
Configure the Scan Engine with a 1D Menu Barcode
1. Scan the SET menu barcode, ZZ. The scan engine enters menu mode.
2. Scan the options you want to configure.
3. Scan the END menu barcode, ZZ. All settings are saved in non-volatile memory.
