Introduction
Your new scanner has been factory configured with a set of default
parameters. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol
requirements, Honeywell provides a wide range of configurable features
that may be selected using this bar code based configuration tool. Once the
configuration is completed, the scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile
memory (NOVRAM). NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is off.
Note: Bar code descriptions marked with an asterisk ( * ) define a feature that
is a factory default. Bar codes marked with a tilde ( ~ ) require the
Multi-Code configuration method.
Bar Code Configuration Methods
The MetroSelect class of scanners can be bar code configured in two ways:
the Single-Code Method and the Multi-Code Method.
Note: To properly configure an MS9540 scanner, all configuration
codes must be scanned using the CodeGate®option.
Single-Code Method
Most features can be enabled or disabled using the Single-Code Method.
1. Power-up the scanner.
2. Scan the bar code for the desired feature.
3. The scanner will emit a multi-toned beep to indicate the configuration
has been saved to NOVRAM.
Multi-Code Method
All features can be enabled or disabled using the Multi-Code Method.
A feature marked with a tilde ( ~ ) requires the Multi-Code Method.
1. Power-up the scanner.
2. Scan the enter/exit configuration mode bar code (3 beeps).
3. Scan the bar code for the desired feature (1 beep). Multiple features
can be enabled/disabled before scanning the enter/exit configuration
mode bar code.
4. Scan the enter/exit configuration mode bar code (3 beeps) and save
the new configuration. To abort a configuration change, power off the
scanner before scanning the enter/exit code.

Need To Start Over?
Scan the Recall Defaultsbar code to erase all previous settings and return
the scanner to its factory default communication protocol. Keyboard Wedge
interface scanners will load keyboard wedge defaults. All other scanners load
RS232 defaults.
Note: Honeywell manufactures several products for OEM applications.
These OEM products are configured with custom OEM defaults, which
may use a different set of defaults than the standard set of factory
defaults. See page 23–1 for additional information on custom defaults
and how they affect factory defaults.

Configurable Code Lengths
There are seven bar code lock lengths available. Specific code types can be
assigned to a lock length.
While in configuration mode:
1. Scan the code length lock #1 bar code (below).
2. Scan the three code bytes that represent the code length
(on page 16–1).
3. Scan the matching code type lock #1 bar code (below).
4. Scan the three code bytes that represent the code type (on page 16–1).
This process can be repeated for lock lengths 2 through 7.
