Table 13

Note:

When changing the reading pulse type, we recommend that you present the
corresponding profile bar code (3 LT...) last so that reading of further profile bar
codes in free-running mode is not interrupted.

Printing  out  profile  bar  codes  via  the  user  interface

You can print out the profile bar codes offline (CLV not connected to PC), for
example, using the 

modified 

values in the configuration cards. One or more profile

bar codes are printed out on a page, depending on the number of changes made to
the default settings. You can set the size, position and number of codes printed out
on the page as required. Longer profile bar codes must be printed out in landscape
format (using the printer configuration window).
