Using V-Scanner Storage
Your WS1040 features two types of memory storage:
Main memory, which stores programming for monitoring
and scanning, and Virtual Scanner (V-Scanner) memory.
V-Scanner folders (21) are each capable of storing
complete copies of your scanner’s main memory
(including objects, global settings, and dedicated
search configurations). This is like having 21 scanners
in one. You can customize multiple main memory
configurations, each for different situations.
NOTE: If you load a V-scanner into main memory, the
current contents of main memory are overwritten and
cannot be recovered; there is no “Undo.”
To save the current contents of your scanner’s main
memory to a V-Scanner folder:
1. Press FUNC and then PGM.
2. Press the Stor softkey.
3. Use the 4-direction keypad to select a
V-Scanner folder.
4. Press the Stor softkey. If the selected V-Scanner
folder already contains data, you will be asked
if you wish to overwrite the existing data with
new data.
5. The scanner may prompt you for a name for the
V-Scanner. (The current name or Line 4 of the
Welcome Screen appears. If you change the
name here, it will not overwrite the Welcome
Screen text.)
