V-Scanners provide a capability that is similar to having a
computer with scanner programming software available all of the
time. Instead of connecting the computer and transferring
configuration files to and from main memory, you use V-
Scanners to save or load main memory configurations in the
field. Each V-Scanner storage location is called a
V-Scanner
folder.
To begin V-Scanner operations, press
FUNC PGM
. The
scanner display will appear as follows:

to enter V-Scanner
mode, then press the
Stor
softkey. Use the
#$
keys on the 5-
way pushbutton pad to scroll to the desired V-Scanner folder,
then press the
Stor
softkey.
If the selected V-Scanner folder already contains data, you will
be asked if you wish to overwrite the existing data with new data
from your current version of main memory. Press the
YES
softkey
to proceed, or the
NO
softkey to cancel. If you decide the
overwrite existing data, or if the selected V-Scanner folder is
already empty, the scanner will prompt you to enter a name for
the stored V-Scanner. The scanner uses the text from Line 4 of
the Welcome Screen as a default name if the folder is empty, or
the current name if the folder contains data. You can provide
your own text here without overwriting the Line 4 Welcome
Screen text. Use the standard text entry method to type the
name you wish to use, then press the
OK
softkey. The scanner
will write the contents of main memory to the V-Scanner folder.
This will take approximately four seconds to complete.
