Application Work Group Menu
Introduction
Use this section to program parameters for application work groups for the
cordless system. A work group is a collection of programming settings and a
custom script that defines the personality of the scanner. A different custom
script may be loaded for each work group. The choice of a factory or custom
script is made independently for each scanner. If custom script is selected, the
custom script for the current work group is executed. If a scanner changes to a
different work group, it adopts the new programming settings and new custom
script.
Note: If custom script is selected and no custom script has been loaded, the
scanner is operational; however, nothing appears on the display and
keypad input is not allowed.
This programming section contains the following menu selections:
• Output Selections (User Feedback)
• Prefix and Suffix
• Data Formatter
Each IT3870/IT3875/ST5770 cordless scanner can be assigned to an
application work group.
Note: The model of the base unit determines the number of work groups. The
ST2070-1 can have nine associated scanners and nine work groups. The
ST2070-5 can have nine associated scanners and four work groups.
In each application work group, the user settings are a configuration of
programming selections found in this section of the manual. The keypad macro
settings for the IT3875 will be implemented as a programming selection, as well.
For example, one group may need the beeper turned off, will only scan Code 39
bar codes, and needs a carriage return suffix added to the data being sent to the
host system via the base. Another group may require that scanner voting be
turned on, will scan UPC A, and needs a space added to the transmitted data,
between the main UPC bar code data and the five digit addenda.
The Application Work Groups Selection ("Beeper Volume Selection" on page 5-
11) sets up the scanner according to one of the application work group(s). After
you’ve scanned the association bar code on the base, scan one of the work
group numbers to assign the cordless scanner to a specific group. The scanner
then receives all of the corresponding parameters from the base unit. You may
then alter the parameters your application requires from the Output (User
Feedback), Prefix and Suffix, Data Formatter Selections, keypad macros, and
symbology menu pages.
