ZBA Z-3060 User Manual - 9. Programming Guide

9. Programming Guide 

Scanning a series of programming bar code labels can configure the scanner. 

This allows decoding options and interface protocols to be tailored to a specific 

application. The configuration is stored in non-volatile memory and will not be lost 

by removing power from the scanner. 

The scanner must be properly powered before programming. For RS-232C type 

scanners, an external power adapter must be used to supply DC power to the 

scanner. If a keyboard emulation type scanner is used with an IBM PC/ AT, PS/2 

or any fully compatible computers, power will be drawn from the keyboard port. 

No external power adapter is required. If keyboard emulation type scanner is 

used with any other non IBM PC compatible computers, an external power 

adapter may be needed. 

During the programming mode, the laser scanner will acknowledge a good and 

valid reading with a short beep. It will give long beeps for either an invalid or bad 

reading. 

9-1. Programming Options 

Programmable options are divided into four groups. The first group includes the 

options that show the general behavior of the laser scanner. The second group 

governs the operation of RS-232C type serial ports. The third group selects the 

keyboard type that the keyboard emulation type will be emulated. The last group 

sets the decoding parameters for each barcode symbology. 

9-2. Default Parameters 

This table gives the default settings of all the programmable parameters. The 

default settings will be restored whenever the "Reset" programming label is 

scanned and the laser scanner is in programming mode.
