Microscan Default Parameters
Microscan defaults parameters are contained in the firmware that cannot be changed.
Software Default
Microscan default parameters can be recalled (loaded into current settings) with
<Ard>
command or recalled and saved for power-on with the
<Zrd>
command.
Hardware Default
If a software default reset is not possible, it may be necessary to reset the reader by
shorting (connecting) specific pins. This procedure has the same effect as the
<Zrd>
software command.
Important: For this reset to occur, this command must be executed within 60 seconds
after a power-on or a reset.
1. Apply power to the reader.
2. Locate pins 7 and 11 on the host connector.
Caution: Be certain that the correct pins are located. Connecting the wrong pins
could cause serious damage to the unit.
3. Momentarily connect these wires (or pins) and listen for a series of short beeps.
4. Within 3 seconds, connect them again. A longer beep should be heard. If not,
repeat the process.
Default/Reset Definitions
Defaults are original or saved customer settings that can be recalled, either by soft-
ware reset
<Zrd>
or hardware reset.
Also when in multidrop, defaulting might be required if the reader has been assigned a
polling address and you wish to access the reader’s menu.
Defaulting the reader by
<Zrd>
resets the configuration parameters to Microscan
default values. Defaulting might be necessary if you have make temporary changes,
communications between the reader and another device are lost or interrupted, or you
are using incompatible equipment (for example, a terminal that is set at 38.4K baud
communicating with a reader that is set at 115.2K baud).

Resets (“
A
” commands) affect only the current settings (active memory) and are not
saved for power on or recall.
Active Memory is where the reader’s active settings are stored during use. These are
not available on power-on unless saved by a “
Z
” command.
1. There are no menu options or host commands for resetting the configuration program.
