Introduction ix
INTRODUCTION
Your new scanner has been configured at the factory with a set of default communication
protocols. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements,
Metrologic provides a wide range of configurable features that may be selected with the
use of this bar code configuration guide.
Once the configuration is completed, the scanner stores the settings in nonvolatile
memory or NOVRAM. NOVRAM saves the settings when the power is turned off.

Bar Code Configuration Methods x
BAR CODE CONFIGURATION METHODS
Metrologic scanners can be bar code configured in two ways: the Single-Code Method
and the Multi-Code Method.
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(s) for the desired feature(s).
3. Observe a multi-toned, “save setting” beep that indicates 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 “~” 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(s) for the desired feature(s). [1 beep]
4. Scan the Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code [3 beeps] and
save new configuration.
Enter/Exit Configuration Mode
³999999
To abort a configuration change, power off the scanner before scanning the
Enter/Exit Configuration Mode bar code.

Need to Start Over? xi
NEED TO START OVER?
Scan the Recall Default bar code. This will erase all previous settings and return to the
scanner’s default communications protocol.
•Keyboard Wedge interface scanners will load keyboard wedge defaults.
•All other scanners will load RS-232 defaults.
Metrologic manufactures custom OEM scanners, which load the OEM’s
defaults. For further information on the affects they have on Metrologic default
communications protocols refer to Section N, Custom Defaults, in Book 2.
