5. Setting up the Scanner
In certain cases no setup is required. The scanner is either
pre-programmed to suit the situation, or it automatically detects and is
ready to go. In other cases the scanner must be informed about what
kind of system it is connected to. This can be done in a few moments
using the programming barcodes enclosed in the later sections of this
booklet.
The programming section may be used to set a number of parameters on
the scanner: communication interface type (RS-232, Keyboard, USB),
beep tone, sleep mode timings, same-code delay time, enable/disable
decoding of numerous code types, and more advanced things like set
headers and trailers.
Individual parameters may be set at any time without affecting the other
parameters.
5-1. Scan Test
1. With the scanner running (LED blue) and the host system on, try to
scan several known-good barcodes.
2. Check the results on the POS screen. If the scanner is reading
okay, no further setup may be necessary.
3. If the POS screen does not show the expected scans, go to Set Up,
below.
5-2. Set Up
With the scanner running (LED blue) and the host system on, present the
<Start of configuration> barcode, found in the programming section, to the
scanner. The scanner gives two beeps: low and high, and the LED turn
red. The scanner is in programming mode.
Decide which parameters are required and find their barcodes in the
programming section.
Cover unwanted codes with your hand and present the desired codes,
one by one, to the scanner, the scanner beeps once as it accepts each
code.
