1. INTRODUCTION
The series CCD scanners can be configured by
scanning a series of programming bar code labels.
This allows decoding options and interface
protocols to be tailored to a specific application.
The configuration is stored in non-volatile memory
and will not be lost by removing power from the
scanner.
The scanner must be properly powered before
programming. For RS-232C type scanners, an
external power adaptor must be used to supply
DC power to the scanner. If a keyboard emulation
type scanner is used with a IBM PC/XT/AT, PS/2
or any fully compatible computers, power will be
drawn from the keyboard port. No external power
adaptor is required. If keyboard emulation type
scanner is used with any other non IBM PC
compatible computers, an external power adaptor
may be needed.
During the programming mode, the CCD scanner
will acknowledge a good and valid reading with a
short beep. It will give long beeps for either an
invalid or bad reading.
2. PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Programmable options are divided into four
groups. The first group includes the options that
show the general behavior of the CCD scanner.
The second group of options governs the
operation of RS-232C type serial ports. The third
group selects the keyboard type that the keyboard
emulation type will be emulated. The last group
sets the decoding parameters for each bar code
symbology.

3. DEFAULT PARAMETERS
This table gives the default settings of all the
programmable parameters. The default settings
will be restored whenever the "Reset"
programming label is scanned and the CCD
scanner is in programming mode.

Start of Configuration
•The reading of the "RESET " label turns all the
parameters back to default values.
•When you intend to turn your scanner back to
default parameter, please scan the "Start of
configuration" label first, then scan "RESET"
label and finally scan the "End of
configuration" label.

•The reading of the "ABORT" label discards all
the parameters read prior to the "End of
configuration".
•The scanner remains in the last interface
mode when the scanner is reset. The lable
