Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your
reader. Some programming barcode labels, like the Standard Product Default Settings on
page 9, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming
labels in this manual, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to
scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enterProgramming Mode. Once the
reader is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning
the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Program-
ming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
Select the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed directly to
Interfaces on page 11 for information and programming for the interface type the reader is
connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate bar-
code in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.
Configure Interface Settings
If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, your installation requires
you to select options to further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate section for your
interface type as listed below:
•
RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 47
•
Keyboard Interface, starting on page 73
•
USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 87
•
IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 89
Configure Other Features
If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings,
the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific settings you
might require:
General Features — General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and LED
indicators and other such universal settings.
Symbologies — Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies). These set-
tings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.
NOTE
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instruc-
tions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, or you’ve changed some options
and want the factory settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings barcode
below. This will copy the factory configuration for the currently active interface to the current
configuration.
The programming section lists the factory default settings for each of the menu commands
(indicated by shaded blocks and bold text) on the following pages.
NOTE
Factory defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the
reader for the correct interface before scanning this label.

Scanning Features
Scan Mode
Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:
Trigger Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
- Scanning Active Time has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is
pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read,
or the maximum Scanning Active Time has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product
scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same
label while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated
until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again.
Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this
mode.
Flashing — The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is
controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the reader reads con-
tinuously, when Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.
Always On — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on.
If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read
Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Stand Mode — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on au-
tomatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the
reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple
reads of the same label while in this mode.
Trigger Object Sense — This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull
is required to activate the decoder.

Wedge Quiet Interval
Product Reference Guide

Wedge Quiet Interval
This option specifies the amount of time to look for keyboard activity before the read-
er breaks the keyboard connection in order to transmit data to host. The selectable
range for this feature is from 0 to 990ms in 10ms increments.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result
with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Program-
ming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT WEDGE QUIET INTERVAL SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that rep-
resent the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-
beep indication after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Program-
ming Mode.
This completes the procedure to set the Wedge Quiet Interval. See Table 14 for some
examples of how to set this feature.

Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character
and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990
milliseconds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result
with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Program-
ming Mode.

USB-OEM Device Usage
The USB-OEM protocol allows for the reader to be identified as one of two different
types of barcode scanners. Depending on what other scanners you may already have con-
nected to a USB-OEM POS, you may need to change this setting to enable all devices to
communicate.
Options are:
• Table Top Scanner
• Handheld Scanner
NOTE
It may be necessary to switch device usage when connecting two
readers/scanners of the same type to a POS system.
