Additional Functions
Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running
scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and cali-
brating the scale.
Programming
When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is con-
figured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the
bar code symbologies you designated. If you need to change this configu-
ration information for any reason, Section 6,
Programming , contains spe-
cial bar code labels for changing the unit’s settings.
Diagnostic Mode
Refer to Section 2, Diagnostic Modes for details about running scanner and
scale diagnostics. Turn to Section 4, Problem Isolation , for a description of
error codes resulting from diagnostics.
Scanner and Scale Reset
The reset procedures and indicators are identical for scanner and scanner/
scale models. As with any electronic equipment, it is sometimes necessary
to reset the electronics. The reset procedure allows you to initiate a reset
command to the scanner. This may be necessary if the POS terminal has
been switched off or the store system has been reset while the unit is on.
Reset can also be used to initiate and run the unit’s internal Selftest rou-
tine.
Pressing and holding the Volume/Tone Push Button for approximately
eight seconds initiates a reset, which is sounded by a rapid number of
beeps. If the motor had been spinning, the lamps will blink while the
motor spins down. At that point, the motor will spin back up and the
scanner will continue to run the Selftest diagnostics. For more informa-
tion, see the topic,
Power-Up/Selftest & Pre-Operation earlier in this sec-
tion.
