GENERAL
INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces, barcodes for
customizing the
SP400RF
scanner's operation and a listing of standard
factory settings. It is important to note that many of the features and
programming labels contained here are identical to those available for
other
SP400
models. Since the
SP400RF
contains software enhance-
ments and characteristics that set it apart from other models, it is recom-
mended that this guide be used as the sole source of programming labels
and information (except for other
SP400RF
product-specific publica-
tions).
The organization of this manual is intended to support a variety of users
while making it quick and easy to find the information you need. Look at
the descriptions that follow to find where to go from here.
I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS
If you do not regularly use barcode labels to configure (program) scan-
ners, it will be very helpful to read the introductory portions of this
manual prior to beginning your programming session. In addition to the
information that follows, information of specific interest to you is titled:
— Integrating Peripherals with Host Systems
— Changing Interfaces
— Customizing Your Scanner Operation
— Programming Overview
— What is Programming Mode?
— How to Program Using Barcodes
— The Programming Session
— Scanner Response When in Programming Mode
— If You Make A Mistake
— Where to Go From Here
INTEGRATING PERIPHERALS WITH HOST SYSTEMS
It is important that you understand that the scanner must contain software
that supports a specific interface in order to use that interface.
Next, turn to Appendix A, Standard Factory Settings, which contains a
complete factory default configuration listing. Assuming that your scanner
is configured using the standard factory settings, use this list to identify
any changes or additions you need to make.
Then, locate the programming labels you need and change the necessary
settings. Once you have completed these steps, you can begin scanning.
