Bar Code Configuration
Bar Code Configuration Mode can be entered three different ways:
1. By forcing the Imager into Bar Code Configuration Mode using serial command
<BCCFG> .
2. By configuring one of the 4 EZ button positions to Bar Code Configuration Mode .
3. By reading a Data Matrix symbol with a special code word used by ISO/IEC 16022
to signify Imager programming. This can be either in a regular read cycle or during a
read rate test. Reading this symbol in the calibration routine will have no effect.

Once Bar Code Configuration Mode has been entered, the Data Matrix symbols can be
thought of as serial data. You can configure the Imager by printing labels in di-soric’s serial
command format. Commands are processed as if the data were streamed in through the
serial port. The Imager will acknowledge the symbol with a beep, green flash, and echo
the serial data to the host. If the command causes the Imager to produce more serial out-
put, such as serial verification or counter requests, the data will be routed to the host port.
Bar Code Configuration Mode can be exited by any reset <A> or <Z> command as well
as a <J> or a quick press and release of the EZ button.
The command to exit Bar Code Configuration Mode can be included as part of the Data
Matrix symbol. For example, try encoding <K200,4><K220, 1 ><J> into a Data Matrix symbol.
This configures the Imager to enable Serial Trigger Mode , to program a new trigger to end
the read cycle, and to exit Bar Code Configuration Mode with <J> .
To end all EZ button functions, press the EZ button once and quickly release.
Definition: Bar Code Configuration Mode is a way of programming the Imager by
using ECC 200 Data Matrix symbols.
Serial Cmd: < BCCFG >
1. In normal reading modes, it is required to read a special Data Matrix symbol with a special codeword used by
ISO/IEC 16022 to signify Imager programming.
