Configuring The Scanner
Since operation of the NLB 9625/9645 Series laser scanner is microprocessor controlled, it is possible to
modify or program its operation to match your specific application. Changes in parameter settings can be
changed or programmed in two ways. The first method employs specially designed programming bar codes,
which instruct the scanner to modify specific parameters. The second is that the scanner can also be pro-
grammed by sending software instructions from the host PC to the scanner via the RS232 connection.
Programming Menus & Commands
Two different methods can be used to program parameters to configure the scanner:
a. Programming via Bar Codes from a menu page; or
b. Programming via Computer Commands
Most parameters can be programmed using either of these two methods. However, there are certain param-
eters that are only programmable via the bar code menu.
Programming via Bar Codes
Use the following steps to program parameters via the bar code menu:
1) Scan the START bar code. This instructs the scanner to enter the Programming Mode. While in this
mode the scanner will beep intermittently.
2) Scan the bar code(s) associated with the desired parameter(s). The scanner will beep when the bar
code is scanned. Note: Because of the close proximity of bar codes on the menu, approaching the
desired bar codes from the side of the page will ensure that the only correct bar code is scanned.
3) Scan the STOP bar code. This instructs the scanner to exit the Programming Mode.
All the parameters that are programmed via bar codes are retained in non-volatile memory and stored perma-
nently (even if the scanner is powered down) or until they are changed again.
