Set–Up and Installation
3.4 Scanner Checks
1)
Confirm Scanner Operation
Tthe tip of the scanner should glow red indicating that the wand is
operational.
2)
Check Bar Code Labels
Before using any bar code scanner, make sure the label is of good quality
and that the window area of your scanner is clean. This is very important
because any dirt or specks in the bar code symbol or on the scanner optics
may prevent it from reading accurately. Even a label that is smudged
during printing or gets wrinkled when it is applied to an item can cause a
reading problem.
This completes installation of the wand to the host system. The wand
reader/decoder must now be configured to the particular decoding
application.
Welch Allyn offers two programming methods. The standard
programming technique involves using the wand to scan bar code symbols
from a Programming Menu. An alternative programming method makes
use of an optional Configuration Disk. The disk contains software
(WANDMENU), which allows the user to select and download decoder
parameters from the host using a PC menu program.
A description of all programmable parameters and the instructions for
making decoder selections using these two programming methods are
contained in Chapter 4.
