1. INTRODUCTION
The series Bar Code Wand scanners can be
configured by scanning a series of programming
bar code labels. 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 adaptor must be used to supply DC
power to the scanner. If a keyboard emulation
type scanner is used with a IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2 or
any fully compatible computers, power will be
drawn from the keyboard port. No external power
adaptor is required. If keyboard emulation type
scanner is used with any other non IBM PC
compatible computers, an external power adaptor
may be needed.
During the programming mode, the scanner will
acknowledge a good and valid reading with a short
beep. It will give long beeps for either an invalid
or bad reading.
2. PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Programmable options are divided into four groups.
The first group includes the options that show the
general behavior of the scanner. The second
group of options 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 bar code symbology.
