MS-860 Industrial Raster Reader User’s Manual
Appendix F — Defaulting/Saving/Resetting
Understanding and controlling your reader’s active, saved, and default settings is criti-
cal to the operation of your reader.
Power-on Parameters
Power-on parameters (saved by the
<Z>
command) are saved to NOVRAM and recalled
and loaded into current parameters when power is cycled or the
<Arp>
command is
issued.
Customer Default Parameters
Customer default parameters (saved by
<Zc>
command) are the same set of parame-
ters as power-on but are saved in a different, isolated section of NOVRAM. This can
allow a user to essentially create a backup set of parameters that can be recalled in the
event that the current parameters or power-on parameters have been changed and no
longer desired. It is important to note that a hardware default does not affect these
parameters. For example, a user that inadvertently changed communication settings in
power-on parameters in such a way that they either don't know the settings or don't
have the capability to communicate at those settings. By using the hardware default to
default the power-on settings to the known Microscan default, the user can then recall
their previously customer saved settings with the
<Arc>
or
<Zrc>
commands.
Default on Power-On
You can also use the EZ button to default the reader to customer defaults and save for
power-on by holding down the EZ button while applying power to the reader, provided
that this feature is enabled in
"Default on Power-on"
on page 3-7. This is the same
as the
<Zrc>
command.
