Programming
Overview
The RF system’s programmable feature settings can be modified to
accommodate your unique requirements. Listed below are the various
methods to configure scanner and Base Station units:
Scanner
1. The Base Station’s configuration files can be automatically
downloaded to the scanner at the time of linking. See the sec-
tions, Linking the Scanner to a Base Station and Common Configu-
ration for more details.
2. The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner
is to use the Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programming
Kit. See References for more information about this product.
3. The scanner can be configured using special programming bar
codes like those contained in this section. For the most part, the
programming instructions and bar codes on the following
pages address this method of scanner configuration.
NOTE
Base Stations and the scanners linked to them must
possess compatible configuration files.
NOTE
If you program the scanner using any of the
methods above, the scanner will store the changes
until reprogrammed or returned to factory defaults.
