External parameter memory in the MS 308 / MK 308 and ME 308
The parameter memory available in the MS 308/MK 308
or ME 308 simplifies the time saving on-site
exchange of a BCL 308
i
by providing a copy of the current parameter set of the BCL 308
i
and by storing
the device name as well. This eliminates the need to configure the exchanged device manually and, in
particular, a new naming of the device – the control can immediately access the exchanged BCL 308
i
.

autoReflAct
autoReflAct stands for automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without additional sensors.
This is achieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam towards a reflector mounted behind
the conveyor path.
As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains closed. If, however, the
reflector is blocked by an object such as a container with a bar code label, the scanner activates the read
procedure, and the label on the container is read. When the path from the scanner to the reflector has
cleared, the read procedure has completed and the scanning beam is reduced and again directed onto the
reflector. The reading gate is closed.

The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and thus permits an
activation without additional sensors.

Reference codes
The BCL 308
i
offers the possibility of storing one or two reference codes.
It is possible to store the reference codes via the webConfig tool or via online commands.
The BCL 308
i
can compare read bar codes with one and/or both reference codes and execute user-config
-
urable functions depending on the comparison result.
4.10 autoConfig
With the autoConfig function, the BCL 308
i
offers an extremely simple and convenient configuration option
to users who only want to read one code type (symbology) with one number of digits at a time.
After starting the autoConfig function via the switching input or from a superior control, it is sufficient to
position a bar code label with the desired code type and number of digits in the reading field of the
BCL 308
i
.
Afterward, bar codes with the same code type and number of digits are recognized and decoded.
NOTE
Compatible reflectors are available on request.
