Additional Functions
Additional scanner functions include programming, running scanner
diagnostics, or initiating a reset.
Programming
Scanners are typically programmed at the factory to settings specified by
the customer. Generally, POS system interface and bar code symbologies
are pre-configured to operate in the target environment.
Chapter 5
con-
tains the necessary instructions, bar codes, and descriptions to program/
reprogram scanner settings.
Scanner Diagnostic Mode
While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is
allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of bar codes
while troubleshooting problems. Under normal operation, the scanner
stores label data, awaiting the signal which transmits it to the host. When
the scanner is not connected to a host, it may read and store only up to
two labels, then quit reading until power is cycled (clearing the memory).
This mode of operation removes this limitation.
To place the scanner in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, press the Volume/Tone
Push Button for approximately four seconds. While pressing the button,
the scanner will first sound three tones, wait a few seconds, then sound six
rapid tones; after which you should immediately release the button.
To exit Scanner Diagnostic Mode, cycle power to the scanner or press and
hold the Volume/Tone Push Button for eight seconds to reset the scanner.

resets.
