1. INTRODUCTION
The series Bar Code Wand 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 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 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 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".
ABORT
•The lable below must be read to enter into
serial interface for ZB- 800R or ZB- 800C when
the wand is configured the first time.
