Paging Feature
To help locate a missing reader, press the Base Station Link Button momentarily (less
than one second). This will cause the reader to beep five times at its loudest volume set-
ting.
Programming
The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features. After scanning
the interface barcode from the
Interfaces
section, you can select other options and cus-
tomize your reader through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available
in the corresponding features section for your interface and also the
Data Editing
and
Symbologies
chapters of this manual.
Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure
your reader and Base Station. Some programming barcode labels, like the
Standard
Product Default Settings on page 10
, require only the scan of that single label to enact
the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the reader
to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar-
code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, you
can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a
second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return
the reader to normal operation.
Select the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the Base Station and the host, pro-
ceed directly to
Interfaces on page 11
for information and programming for the inter-
face type the Base Station is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB,
etc.) and scan the appropriate barcode in that section to select your system’s correct in-
terface type.
Configure Interface Settings
Each interface type is associated to a specific set of default features. If after scanning the
interface barcode from the
Interfaces
section, your installation requires you to select op-
tions to further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate section for your interface
type as listed below:
• RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 47
• RS-232/USB-Com Interfaces, starting on page 53
• Keyboard Interface, starting on page 73
NOTE
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instruc-
tions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.
