Programming with

Bar Codes

This programming kit contains the procedures and

bar code programming labels necessary to set the

scanner's programmable features.

Programming Your Scanner

To program your scanner:

1. Power up the scanner to be pro-

grammed by one of the following

methods:

• Connect the scanner's interface cable

at the scanner. Plug the AC/DC

Adapter into an electrical outlet of

the appropriate voltage and connect

its other end at either the port

located on the scanner's interface

cable connector (furthest from the

scanner) or its "pigtail" connection

(see Figure 1*).

• If the scanner is configured to

receive power off the terminal

(POT), connect the scanner via its

interface cable to a working host

terminal.

Wait for the scanner to complete the Selftest

routine and emit four tones. The green lamp will

light dimly, indicating that the scanner is in

normal Operating Mode.

Your host terminal connection may be

different.

2. Put the scanner into Programming

Mode by scanning the Programming

Switch bar code located on the next

page and on the inside back cover.

The green LED flashes continuously

indicating that the scanner is in

Programming Mode.

3. Scan the programming bar code(s) for

the feature you want to change. The

scanner will emit three beeps to

indicate that the bar code has been read

and the setting has been stored in the

scanner’s memory. Scan the remaining

programming bar codes as required.

If a bar code scanned is not a valid

programming bar code, the scanner

will emit a “chirping” (rapid beeping)

rejection tone.

4. After all the desired programming bar

codes have been successfully scanned, exit

Programming Mode by scanning the

Programming Switch bar code once

again. The scanner will reset and emit

four beeps during the power-up se-

quence.

The green lamp will light dimly, indicat-

ing that the scanner is ready for normal

operation.

Programmable Features

The remainder of this programming kit contains

programming bar codes for all programmable

features for the Duet™ and VS800 scanners. Refer

to the detailed features listing shown in the index

at the back of this manual to find the individual

features that you wish to change.

Return to Factory Settings

Use this bar code to reset all options back to the

original factory default settings for the current

interface. For example, if your scanner's current

interface is RS-232, all settings will return to the

scanner's original factory settings for the RS-232

interface.

NOTE

Any settings you have selected in a pre-

vious programming session will be lost.
