4.1 Chapter Description
This chapter provides information on the following topics:
•
SCANTEAM 3700PDF programmable functions
•
scanner signals and what they mean
•
how to use the Programming Menus
Note: For additional information on programming the SCANTEAM 3700PDF CCD reader, refer
to the SCANTEAM PDF417 Programming Menu. The Programming Menu is used to
select the various parameters for reader operation discussed below and includes specific
application guidelines for reader programming.
4.2 Reader Programming Conventions
The SCANTEAM 3700PDF Reader is programmed by scanning bar code symbols
included in the SCANTEAM PDF417 Programming Menu. The menus contain the bar
code symbols you scan to:
•
Enter the programming mode
•
Select application options
•
Exit the program mode
As you scan the bar code symbols, the information represented by the bar code symbols
is stored in the reader’s non–volatile PEROM memory. If the unit is turned off, the
non–volatile PEROM memory retains the programmed application options.
Note: To program the unit by scanning the bar codes in the SCANTEAM PDF417 Programming
Menu, the trigger mode must be set to AutoTrigger or the external trigger signal must be
used. If the unit is not in AutoTrigger mode or no external trigger signal is used, you must
use the serial menu commands located in the SCANTEAM PDF417 Programming Menu.
Note: The SCANTEAM 3700PDF scanner stores configuration parameters in flash memory.
Saving configuration parameters more than 1000 times exceeds the specifications of the
flash memory.
