Opticon NFT 1125 Scanner User Manual


 
Manual No. 25-NFT1121-01
Series NFT-1121/2135 Mini CCD Fixed Position Scanners
Introduction
Two different methods can be used to program parameters to configure the scanner:
a) Programming via bar codes from a menu page; or
b) Programming via computer commands
Programming via Bar Codes
Use the following steps to program parameters via the bar code menu:
1) Scan the START/END Programming Menu bar code. This instructs the scanner to enter the
Programming Mode. The scanner will beep intermittently while in this mode.
2) Scan the bar code(s) associated with the desire parameter(s). The scanner will beep when the bar
code is scanned. Note: Because of the close proximity of bar codes on the menu, approaching the
desired bar codes from the side of the page will ensure that only the desired bar code is scanned.
3) Scan the START/END Programming Menu bar code. This instructs the scanner to exit the
Programming Mode.
All the parameters that are programmed via bar codes are retained in non-volatile memory and stored
permanently (even if the scanner is powered down) or until they are changed.
Programming via Computer Commands
Various parameters can be programmed by sending software commands or keyboard strokes from the host
computer to the scanner in the following format:
<ESC> Computer Command <CR>
Note: Only upper case letters are recognized, e.g. AB, not ab. Each command typically consists of two
characters. Downloading of software commands cannot be grouped together. Each command must be
preceded by <ESC> (Escape) and followed by <CR> (Carriage Return).
Note: Where computer commands appear in parenthesis, bar code commands must be used to program the
scanner.
