First-time Setup
AXCESS Setup Software for AXIOM,
functioning under the familiar
Windows
®
operating system on your computer, is the tool you will use to
define operating parameters, set bar code type / length, and construct output
messages, including filtering, stripping and padding capabilities. AXCESS
enables you to easily configure, fine-tune, and monitor your reader’s
operations, allowing you to program it to fit your application seamlessly.
AXCESS provides ease-of-use regardless of your experience with bar code
readers. A beginner follows basic setup procedures for a standard
configuration. If you are more experienced, use the advanced setup features
that allow access to more complex options. In either case, the user-friendly
AXCESS Wizard efficiently guides you through a sequence of screens until
the reader is configured to fit your application.
To setup your AXIOM / AXIOM-X bar code reader:
1. Install AXCESS on the computer you will use to setup your reader.
2. Connect the programming setup cable to the reader’s setup port.
3. Connect the programming setup cable to your computer.
4. Apply power to the reader.
5. Set configuration parameters using AXCESS for bar code
symbologies, trigger, tracking, and communications (serial, Ethernet,
and I/O).
(See Chapter 5.)
6. Check operations using the Test Mode.
Check Operations using Test Mode
NOTE:
Perform the following test using a bar code that matches the
default parameters. You can also perform this test after configuring the
AXIOM to your specifications. If the default parameters have been changed,
you must enable the control panel buttons and the other
default
parameters
listed.
See Modify > AXIOM Configuration and Modify > Bar
Code Setup.
To quickly check AXIOM operation:
1. Apply power to the reader.
2. Position a test bar code symbol approximately 20 inches [508 mm] from
the reader. Skew the bar code symbol slightly.
3. Press the Test/Diagnostics button on the control panel to initiate test.
4. The laser(s) should be scanning continuously during normal operations.
(Observe the laser safety warnings in Chapter 2. If it becomes necessary
to shutoff the laser(s), follow procedure outlined in Chapter 7.)
5.
Observe the bar graph LEDs on the AXIOM-X control panel. The bar
graph LEDs illuminate when the reader is scanning and decoding the bar
code symbol.
