Z4 DataTraq
8
Configuration Functions
Listed on the facing page is a table of the Function codes that can be
used to configure your Z4 DataTraq. These functions are selected by
pressing the
FUNC
key, followed by the indicated 2 digit number.
Configuration settings made using these functions are stored in the
Z4 DataTraq's battery-backed memory, and remain in effect even if the
power is turned off.
As delivered, the Z4 DataTraq may not be set up correctly for your
computer or software, so you should check the suitability of settings
when you first receive your unit, and configure it as required.
The most commonly used functions are:
Func 10
This function displays the amount of storage memory used
and the amount still available.
Func 11
Downloads the stored data to your computer.
Func 19
After you’ve downloaded the data to your computer, you’ll
need to use this function to clear the storage memory.
Func 05
If you’re having trouble transferring the data to your
computer, you may need to slow down the download using
this function. We’ve set defaults that work for most setups,
but if some of the characters and/or barcodes are being lost,
try doubling the numbers for the Char delay, CR delay
and/or Keybd delay.
Func 00
Displays the firmware version number and date, and the
amount of memory fitted to the unit.
Func 01
This function sets the allowable barcode types. You’ll get
the best results by only turning on those barcode
symbologies that you need, and turning off all other types.
Func 02
You might need to use this function when you first receive
your Z4 DataTraq, to set the type of interface that you want
to use – most commonly IBM AT or RS-232.
Func 04
If you need to scan SCIS (also called ISBN) barcodes, you
can turn that ability on by answering Yes to the “
Convert
978 EAN-13 to ISBN
” prompt.
