Multiple Scanner Operation
Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one base or Access Point. You cannot join an
8th scanner until you unlink one of the 7 scanners or take a scanner out of range.
To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked
from the base or Access Point and must either be placed into the base, or you must scan the Access Point linking bar code in
order to relink.
Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes. For example, you may want to have a unique
identifier for a scanner that is receiving imaging commands sent from the base or Access Point.
The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX” If you have more than one scanner linked to a
base, and they all have the same name, the first scanner linked to the base receives commands. When renaming a series of
scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the base.
Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 3-19, or by sending the serial command :Scanner-
Name:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName is the current name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the
scanner. If you wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time and repeat the :ScannerName:BT_N-
AMNewName. command for each scanner.
To rename scanners with sequential, numeric names, scan the bar codes below.
Scan the Reset code after each name change
and wait for the scanner to relink to the base or Access Point before scanning a bar code to rename the next scanner.
