CLONING MODE
FORMAT OF CLONING
WHAT IS CLONING MODE?
CLONING duplicates a scanners settings in other scanners. It can
save time when a number of scanners must be programmed to the
same settings.
HOW SHOULD CLONING WORK?
1. Using this guide, make all the necessary settings for one wand.
2. Scan the CLONING MODE bar code shown below.
3. When CLONING MODE is scanned, all setup parameters will be
converted to alphanumeric characters and shown on the monitor.
4. Using a bar code printer, print out all the setup parameters as
Code 39 bar code labels.
5. Scan the printed labels sequentially with each wand to be
programmed.
Figure 1
CLONING MODE
NOTES:
1. All cloning strings are upper case.
2. All cloning strings printed on labels should be the same as those on
the monitor sequentially from first to last.
3. Cloning mode works in Word Note Pad only.
4. Never edit the data on the first row (.A017$). It is an entry command
for cloning.
5. The cloning string’s length can be adjusted by combining multiple
strings into one, or by breaking one string into multiple strings starting
from the second row after “....”. Length must be in sequences of four,
such as 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 (MAX).
6. Be sure to print the dots exactly where they are shown on the monitor.
* Format of Cloning:
1st row >>> “.A017$” ( never edit any data of the first row )
2nd row >>> “....XXXX” you can adjust the String’s Length starting
from the dots “....” forward. The length of the string should
be in 4, 8, 12, 16 or 20 ( MAX )digits.
3rd row ~ so on >>> XXXX
End row - A dot “.” Is the ending of cloning.
XXXX Stands for any string
. A016$

CORRECT SETTING
WRONG SETTING
EXAMPLE :
1. PROJECT ASSIGNMENTS:
1.1. Beep tone: BEEP LOW.
1.2. Capslock Mode: CAPSLOCK ON.
1.3. Reading Mode: CONTINUOUS AUTO OFF.
2. SETTING PROCEDURE:
2.1. Scan BEEP LOW (GROUP 3).
2.2. Scan CAPSLOCK ON (GROUP 12).
2.3. Scan CONTINUOUS MODE (GROUP2).
3. Scan [.A016$] Cloning Mode. All parameters will be output in alphanumeric
characters and shown on the monitor.
4. Print the results shown on the monitor as bar codes with a bar
code printer. The bar codes should be in the Code 39 symbology.
5.
Scan from the first row to the second and so on sequentially,
top to bottom, with the scanner you wish to “clone” these
settings to.

Wrong Setting: The string “....”
consists of 4 Dots, located at the

break the “....” into multiple strings.
Wrong Setting: The string lengths of the
second and third row do not match the
length requirements, because rows should
be in length of four digits.

HOW TO SET PARAMETERS
1. Use the scanner to scan at the bar code representing the function/
parameter you want to set.
2. When you hear two beeps, the new settings have been defined or
updated permanently to the scanner.
Default parameters are indicated in bold type and underlined
characters. The character font is ARIAL BLACK.
Most settings require only a single bar code, but a few need several
different bar codes to be scanned in order to completely define a
setting (i.e Multi-step Configurations). They are:
How do you program a scanner with this user’s guide?
Preamble / Postamble (maximum 16 digits)
Step 1: Scan CLR PRE/POSTAMBLE.
Step 2: Scan PREAMBLE or POSTAMBLE.
Step 3: Scan 1 ~ 16 alphanumeric from Full ASCII table (Group 38-49).
Step 4: Scan PREAMBLE or POSTAMBLE.
Min Length / Max Length
Step 1: Scan MIN LENGTH or MAX LENGTH.
Step 2: Scan two digits from Full ASCII table - Numbers (Group 46).
Step 3: Scan MIN LENGTH or MAX LENGTH.
Set Code ID (Example: Code 39)
Step 1: Scan CODE 39 SET ID from Group 8
Step 2: Scan either one or two alphanumerics (maximum 2 digits)
from Full ASCII table (Group 40-46)
Step 3: Scan CODE 39 SET ID from Group 8
Set Data Format
Step 1: Scan DATA FORMAT
Step 2: Scan 1 ~ 3 digits from Full ASCII Table - Numbers (Group 46)
Step 3: Scan DATA FORMAT
Set Field Separator
Step 1: Scan FIELD SEPARATOR
Step 2: Scan one alphanumeric character from Full ASCII Table (Group 40-46)
Step 3: Scan FIELD SEPARATOR
Set Date/Time
Step 1: Scan SET DATE/TIME
Step 2: Scan 6 digits from Full ASCII Table - Numbers (Group 46)
Step 3: Scan SET DATE/TIME
Set Date/Time Format
Step 1: Scan SET DATE/TIME FORMAT
Step 2: Scan 2 digits from Full ASCII Table - Numbers (Group 46)
Step 3: Scan SET DATE/TIME FORMAT
1. The scanner will beep three times as indication that a setting is
not yet complete or unexpected barcode is scanned during multi-step
configuration.
2. If you make a mistake, forget a step, etc., and want to abort the multi-
step configuration, scan RESET/ABORT and start over again.
