CHANGING THE DEFAULT SETTINGS

You can easily change the default settings by simply scanning the bar code options located on the M2800 Setup
Menu. The M2800 Setup Menu is a sheet of bar codes supplied for use with the M2800. If a replacement is
needed, both the M2800 User’s Manual and M2800 Setup Menu are available at

www.amltd.com

in Adobe

Acrobat® PDF format. A full description of each customizable option can be found in the Programming Guide,
under its respective menu heading.

The basic programming sequence is:

START / CATEGORY / OPTION (0-9) / ON/OFF (or) NUMBER(s) ONLY / EXIT

Follow the instructions below to change the settings.

Step 1:

Scan the START label at the top left corner of the M2800 Setup Menu. This puts the M2800 into
the program mode.

Step 2:

Scan one of the Category labels (i.e. Code 39, UPC, Baud Rate).

Step 3:

Select the desired option by scanning one of the numeric labels (0 - 9).

Step 4:

If there is an (ON/OFF) next to the description, scan the ON label to enable or the OFF label to
disable the option.

Example:

To enable the MOD 43 check digit on Code 39, perform the following:

1) Scan the Code 39 category label.

2) Scan the option (2) label to select the MOD 43 check digit option.
3) Scan the ON label to enable option (2).
If there is a range of numbers next to the option, then scan one of the numeric labels (0 - 9).
Example:

To select the OPCC check digit for Interleaved 2 of 5, perform the following:

1) Scan the Int. 2 of 5 category label.
2) Scan the (1) label to select the check digit option.
3) Scan the numeric 2 label to select OPCC.

Step 5:

If you want to make another change within the same category, you can scan another option
number (i.e., return to step 3 above). If you want to make a change in a different category you
must scan the new category (i.e., return to step 2 above and repeat the steps).

Step 6:

When you have finished making all of the changes, you can either:
1) Scan the EXIT (Save Changes) label to save all the changes or
2) Scan the EXIT (Ignore Changes) label to exit without saving any changes.
NOTE: You can reset the M2800 to the default setting by performing the following:
1) Scan the START label.
2) Scan the RESET ALL DEFAULTS label.
3) Scan the EXIT (Save Changes) label.
