Customizing Configuration Settings
Using the Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your
scanner. Some programming bar code labels, like
Resetting the Product Configuration to
Defaults on page 13 , require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the
programming labels in this manual, however, require the scanner to be placed in Programming
Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming
Mode. Once the scanner is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter
settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your
changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal operation.
NOTE
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each given programmable feature.
Datalogic Aladdin™ Utility
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration
application which is available for free download from the Datalogic website listed on the back
cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program allows device configuration using a
PC. It communicates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can also create configuration
bar codes to print.
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. the Aladdin utility is available on
the CD-ROM provided with your product, and also from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows
you to program the scanner by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly
graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the scanner over the
selected communication interface, or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see
the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
