GENERAL
INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces, barcodes for
customizing the scanner's operation and listings of the standard factory
settings for each standard interface. The organization is intended to
support a variety of users while making it quick and easy to find the
information you need. Look at the descriptions that follow to find where
to go from here.
I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS
If you do not regularly use barcode labels to configure (program) scan-
ners, it will be very helpful to read the introductory portions of this
manual prior to beginning your programming session. In addition to the
information that follows, information of specific interest to you is titled:
— Programming Overview
— What is Programming Mode?
— How to Program Using Barcodes
— Scanner Response When in Programming Mode
— Where to Go From Here
I REGULARLY INTEGRATE PERIPHERALS INTO HOST SYSTEM
It is important that you understand that, although you can physically
attach all the various SP400 interface cables to your scanner, the scanner
must contain software that supports a specific interface in order to use that
interface. Therefore, the first step is to review the information that
immediately follows this introduction titled Reading the Interface Codes. It
shows how to identify which model scanner you have, lists these scanner
model numbers and shows the interface(s) supported by each model. Use
this information to verify that the model scanner that you purchased
supports the interface you wish to enable.
Next, turn to Appendix A, Standard Factory Settings, which contains
complete listings of each interface's factory configuration and shows how
to verify that your scanner contains this configuration. Assuming that your
scanner is configured using the standard factory settings, use this list to
identify any changes or additions you need to make.
Then, locate the programming labels you need and change the necessary
settings. Once you have completed these steps, you can begin scanning.
