ESSION
It is possible to program multiple features during a single programming
session (a programming session is defined as the period of time between
scanning the “set” label and scanning the “end” label). However, it is
recommended that sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult
to discover where an error has been made, should you make a mistake in
the programming sequence. Additionally, it can be confusing to deter-
mine which features may or may not have been successfully set following
a failed session.
The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the “end” label is
scanned. Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before
scanning the “end” label, will cause the scanner to forget any program-
ming labels scanned during the current programming session and will
cause the scanner to return to its previous settings.

Visual verification that the SP400RF is in Programming Mode is provided
by the red LED located on the base station, which will steadily flash until
Programming Mode is exited. While in Programming Mode, the scanner
will not decode regular barcode labels and will only enable features
supported by the currently active interface. Maintaining a good record of
all changes made will help ensure that you know if the standard factory
settings have been changed.
Scanning regular barcode labels — the scanner will reject the
label, sounding first a “good read” beep, followed by a low
“bad” beep.
Scanning a valid programming label —
a. If the feature is supported by the active interface, the
scanner will sound two “good read” beeps.
b. If incomplete or incorrect programming has been entered
when the END label is scanned, the rejection tone will be
sounded (a “good read” beep, followed by a low “bad”
beep) regardless of whether the labels scanned were
valid programming labels. For example, if the END label
is scanned immediately following the SET label, the lack
of programming content will result in a rejection tone.
