UNIVERSAL WEDGE INTERFACE PROGRAMMING
For your convenience, this guide provides minimal configuration and op-
tion settings for your scanner's Universal Wedge interface. For more de-
tailed programming information and features, reference the QuickScan
6000/6000 Plus Universal Wedge Programming Guide (R44-1548), avail-
able from your dealer.
DISCONNECTING/CONNECTING THE INTERFACE (I/F) CABLE
To disconnect the I/F cable at the scanner, insert a bent paper clip or
.050" hex driver into the opening marked CABLE RELEASE as shown in
Figure 1, and push inward. Once the connector latch is released, con-
tinue to hold in on the latch while carefully pulling the cable free.
Connect the scanner to your system using ONLY the proper PSC ap-
proved QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus I/F cable.
WARNING
Connection using an unapproved cable can result in damage
to the scanner. QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus cables can be
identified by a cable I.D. code printed on a white label, ap-
proximately 1" in length, attached to them.

RETURN TO FACTORY CONFIGURATION
If, during a programming session, you wish to reset the scanner's con-
figuration to its original factory settings, scan the RETURN TO FACTORY
SETTINGS label below. Use this label ONLY IF NECESSARY, since it will
reset any changes made to this interface during any previous program-
ming session.
RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS
NOTE
PROGRAMMING MODE
The scanner must be placed in Programming Mode before its configura-
tion can be altered using the barcodes in this guide. Enter Programming
Mode by scanning the START label found at the bottom of each page.
The scanner's green light will flash continuously, indicating the scanner is
in Programming Mode.
While in Programming Mode, the scanner will recognize only specially
formatted programming barcode labels like those contained in this guide,
and will not decode barcode labels of any other type. Scan all program-
ming barcode labels needed to set the scanner's features to the desired
settings. The scanner will beep after each barcode label is scanned, indi-
cating that the setting has been stored in memory. The scanner will emit
a rejection tone if a scanned barcode programming label isn't valid.
To exit Programming Mode and save all changes made during the pro-
gramming session, scan the END label located at the bottom of each
page. The scanner will return to normal operation.
Disconnecting power during Programming Mode will cause the scanner
to return to its previous settings.

tings will take about five seconds to complete. The
scanner will sound a tone at its conclusion.
