RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS

Test Mode
Use this feature to place the scanner into a testing, or demo mode. This special mode disables the scanner interface, meaning that bar code data is not sent out to the host via the scanner interface. This allows the bar code to be scanned continuously without requiring a response from the POS terminal. To return the scanner to normal function, scan the TEST MODE = DISABLE bar code below. DO NOT scan the SWITCH bar code before and after scanning the bar codes on this page. Scanning the TEST MODE = DISABLE bar code sets the Double Read Timeout to 600ms.

NOTE

TEST MODE = DISABLE

TEST MODE = ENABLE

Programming via Handheld Device

The scanner can also accept programming via its auxiliary port using a handheld scanning device. Eligible handheld devices must have the ability to transmit Code 128 function codes such as the programming bar codes presented in this manual. PSC models QuickScan 1000 and QuickScan 6000 support this functionality. Handheld data format requirements (baud rate, parity, etc.) are presented in Appendix F of this manual. Additionally the programmable feature, Aux Port Mode, must be set to External Handheld Input to allow operation.

What Is Programming Mode?

Programming Mode is a state in which the scanner must be placed in order to accept commands via programming bar code labels. When programming using the bar code labels in this manual, the scanner is typically placed in Programming Mode by scanning the SWITCH label. While in the Programming Mode, the scanner only recognizes the special programming bar codes contained in this programming guide. See Appendix A for information about scanner indications while in the Programming Mode.

Entering and Exiting Programming Mode.

Use the bar code label below to enter and exit (switch into and out of ) Programming Mode.

RS-232 Interface Selection

Remember to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type, since you can cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED.

CAUTION

INTERFACE TYPE = RS-232 STANDARD

RS-232 Features
RS-232 Baud Rate
This feature selects the baud rate required for sending and receiving data.
Single cable interfaces are limited to Baud Rate selections up to 19200. They cannot communicate at Baud Rates of 38400 and up. NOTE

To specify the RS-232 Baud Rate: 1. Scan the SWITCH bar code. 2. Scan the desired baud rate from the bar codes below and on the immediately following pages. Youll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan. 3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.

RS-232 BAUD RATE = 1200

RS-232 BAUD RATE = 2400
