Introduction
This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces and bar codes for customiz-
ing the scanner's operation. Since the
QuickScan™ 1000
scanner contains software
enhancements and characteristics that set it apart from other scanners, it is recom-
mended that this guide be used as the sole source of programming labels and
information (except for other
QuickScan 1000
product-specific publications).
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.
Understanding the Basics
If you do not regularly use bar code labels to configure (program) scanners, 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 Bar codes
— 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's important to understand that the scanner must contain software and hardware
that supports a specific interface in order to use that interface. The following pages
describe interface hardware and list software interface groups available on current
models.
Optimally, you'll want details about how your scanner was configured at the factory
before attempting to customize any settings. If you don't have that information,
contact your dealer for factory configuration information.
After determining the changes and/or additions you desire, locate the programming
labels and follow the related instructions in this manual to adjust the scanner. Once
you've completed these steps, you can begin scanning.
