CUSTOMIZING CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
Using the Programming Bar Codes
This manual contains feature descriptions and bar codes which allow you to reconfigure
your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like
Resetting the Product Configuration
to Defaults, starting on page 40
, 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 bar code a second
time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the
reader to normal operation.
Datalogic Aladdin™ Utility
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configura
-
tion 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 con
-
figuration 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/Ethernet interface. The Aladdin
utility is available on the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by
selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running
on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader 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).
