Programming Session
A typical programming session is conducted as follows:
1. Scan the SWITCH barcode to place the scanner in Programming
Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scanner
may emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the barcode and
the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner
remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning functions are
disabled.
2. Scan the programming barcode(s) that is (are) specially encoded
to make the desired changes. With few exceptions1, the scanner
will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming
barcode.
Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will sound
an error tone when scanning programming barcodes for features invalid to
the current interface. Only features supported by the currently active interface will be implemented.
NOTE
If a barcode is scanned that changes the scanner’s interface, all previous
configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.
NOTE
Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single
digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scanning the SWITCH barcode (or any item tag/item value barcode) before
completing all input will result in an error tone and cause the scanner to
exit Programming Mode. Under these circumstances, the current feature
you were trying to set is thrown out; any previous barcodes scanned during the session will take effect.
1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s length by scanning a series of single-digit barcodes. A single ‘good read’ beep is sounded when scanning these
single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.
