Programming Session
A typical programming session is conducted as follows:
1. Scan the
Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code
to place the scanner in
Programming Mode. Depending upon its current programming, the scan-
ner may emit a beep or beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and the
green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Pro-
gramming Mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled.
2. Scan the programming bar code(s) that is (are) specially encoded to make
the desired changes. With few exceptions
1
, the scanner will emit a triple
beep each time you scan a valid programming bar code.
Additionally, when programming a feature requiring you to scan single
digits to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label Length, scan-
ning the Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code (or any item tag/item
value bar code) 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 bar
codes scanned during the session will take effect.
3. Scan the
Enter/Exit Programming Mode
bar code to save any new settings
and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound a beep and reset
upon exiting Programming Mode, and the green LED will return to its usual
state (on steady or off).
The scanner will exit Programming Mode under the following conditions:
— the programming sequence has been completed or the Enter/Exit Pro-
gramming Mode bar code is scanned.
1. Some features, such as Minimum Label Length, require you to select the label’s
length by scanning a series of single-digit bar codes. 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.
NOTE
Not all features are available for all interfaces and the scanner will
sound an error tone when scanning programming bar codes for fea-
tures invalid to the current interface. Only features supported by the
currently active interface will be implemented.
NOTE
If a bar code is scanned that changes the scanner’s interface, all previ-
ous configuration items scanned in the programming session are lost.
NOTE
It is recommended that programming sessions be limited to one fea-
ture at a time. Should you make a mistake in the programming
sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made
if several features are programmed at once. Additionally, it can be
confusing to determine which features may or may not have been
successfully set following such a session.
