Programming the Scanner

Bar Code Programming Menu
The bar code commands are specially designed Proprietary
bar code labels that allow you to set the scanner’s internal
programming parameters. The three main programming bar
code types are referred to as System Command, Family
Code, and Option Code. With the exception of the Option
Code bar codes, which are found on the foldout section in the
back of the book, each programmable family is contained on
one page, and each page includes all of the bar codes needed to
program the scanner. Refer to the flow chart on page 3-8 for
further clarification.
System Command
The System Command is the highest level bar code command
that directs the scanner to perform immediate operations, such
as entering programming mode (PROGRAM), exiting
programming mode (EXIT), listing system information
(SYSLIST), recovering to factory preset configurations
(M_DEFAULT), and so on. Please note that all system
commands will take a few seconds to complete the operations.
The user must wait for the completion beeps before scanning
another bar code.
Family Code
The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired
programming family. More than one hundred programming
families have been provided to meet any specific requirements.
Option Code
The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands represented
by “0–9,” “A–F,” and finishing selection (FIN). For most
settings, you must select at least one option code following the
family code selection to set the desired parameter for the
selected programming family.
Programming Procedures
As you scan the bar code command to select the desired
parameters, the information is stored in the scanner’s internal
Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory. If you turn off
the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory
retains all programmed settings.
