The Programming Session
It is possible to program multiple features during a single programming
session (a programming session is defined as the period of time between
scanning the “set” label and scanning the “end” label). However, it is recommended
that sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult to discover where an error
has been made, should you make a mistake in the programming sequence. Addition-
ally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been
successfully set following such a session.
The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the END label is scanned.
Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scanning the END label,
will cause the scanner to forget any programming labels scanned during the current
programming session and will cause the scanner to return to its previous settings.
Scanner Response When In Programming Mode
As discussed earlier, Programming Mode is entered by scanning a SET
label. The green LED will flash continuously at 1Hz duty cycle while the
scanner is in Programming Mode. As long as it is in Programming Mode,
the scanner will not decode regular bar code labels and will only enable
features supported by the currently active interface.
Scanning regular (non-programming) bar code labels — the
scanner will reject the label, sounding an error tone (six rapid
beeps).
Scanning a valid programming label —
a . If the feature is supported by the active interface, the
scanner will sound three beeps.
b. If incorrect programming has been entered, the error tone
will be sounded (six rapid beeps). Additionally, when
programming a feature requiring you to scan single digits
to set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum Label
Length or Label ID, scanning the END label before
completing all input will result in an error tone and cause
the scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under these
circumstances, the current feature you were trying to set
is thrown out; any previous labels scanned during the
session will take effect.
