You may also want to contact the dealer or your system administrator if
you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the fac-
tory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings for spe-
cific interface types (see
Appendix E, Factory Defaults for more
information); however, your scanner may have been custom configured
with settings that are unique to your company or application.
Once you know the scanner’s current settings, you can determine what
changes will be required to allow communication with your host system
and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize your installa-
tion. After recording the modifications needed, finish reading this section,
then turn to the appropriate page and follow the instructions to program
the scanner.
When all scanner features are programmed to your satisfaction, the scan-
ner is ready to be placed into operation.
Customizing Your Scanner’s Operation
Most scanner programming falls within three general categories:
• General Scanner Features - are features common to all interface
types. Examples include beeper adjustments such as volume and
length, read verification settings, etc.
• Interface Related Features - are the mandatory settings necessary to
allow communication with your host terminal. Examples of these
settings are: RS-232 baud rate and parity.
CAUTION
It is possible, via programming bar codes, to change the interface
type (for example: from RS-232 to IBM Port 17). Great care should be
taken to select the correct interface type, since you can cause dam-
age to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to change to
an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections with
the host cable DISCONNECTED.
NOTE
Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the cur-
rent interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the
RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an error tone when scan-
ning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface
group.
