Multiple Image Scanner Operation
To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the barcode
below. Once you scan this barcode, the image scanner is unlinked from the base
and must be placed into the base to re-link.
Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image
scanners to one base. You cannot join an eighth image scanner until you
unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of range.
Image Scanner Name
You are able to assign a name to each image scanner you are using. It will be
helpful to name the image scanners if you have multiple image scanners linked
to one base so that you will be able to control the image scanner receiving
imaging commands sent from the base. The default name for an 3820 is “3820”.
If you have more than one 3820 linked to a base, the first image scanner that is
linked to the base receives commands addressed using this name.
Changing Image Scanner Name - Serially
If you wish to change the name, you may change it via a serial command (refer
to
on page 10-1) or via a barcode command. To
change the name serially, unlink all except one of the 3820s from the base. Send
“:3820:BT_NAM
name
.”, where
name
is the new image scanner name. If you
wish to change the name of additional 3820s, re-link them one at a time and
repeat the “:3820:BT_NAM
name
.”
command for each image scanner.
