Introduction The programming bar code labels contained in this manual will allow ® you to customize and configure features and settings for your PSC ™ PowerScan scanner. To ensure full compatibility and proper function, use only the programming bar codes in this manual and other product- specific publications to program scanner features. This manual has been developed to make it quick and easy for users of all levels to find the information needed to understand and configure scanner feature

Integrating the Scanner With Your Host System Your scanner MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system. Contact your PSC dealer for information if you have questions about your scanner’s hardware compatibility. You may also want to contact the dealer or your system administrator if you have no record of how your scanner was pre-programmed at the factory. Scanners are typically programmed with the default settings f

To determine if your desired new interface is available on your scanner, check the following section titled Software on page 4. The section lists host interface types supported by each interface board available at the time of this writing. If you are still unsure of your scanner’s available interface connectivity, consult your PSC dealer. The scanner will need to be sent to a Level I Service repair depot if the interface board must be swapped; however, if necessary, you can change your sca

1 Software Verify that your scanner supports the desired interface . The list below indicates the interface groupings the scanner supports. Contact your nearest PSC service depot if you don’t know your scanner’s group, or need assistance to change the scanner to another interface group. The Standard Keyboard Wedge/Wand Emulation/RS-232 Group supports: I/F Type A - PC/XT w/Alternate Key Encoding I/F Type B - AT, PS/2 25-286, 30-286, 50, 50Z, 60, 70, 80, 90 & 95 w/Alternate Key Encoding

After familiarizing yourself with the basic scanner programming pro- cedures in this section, turn to the appropriate interface programming section (RS-232, Wand Emulation, etc.) of this manual to set other inter- face features, completing the scanner’s conversion to a new interface type. Upon changing a scanner’s interface setting, scan a bar code to verify that the scanner communicates correctly with the new host system. Some sample bar codes are provided in Appendix B: Sample Bar Codes

Programming Overview The scanner’s programmable feature settings can be modified to accommodate your system’s unique requirements. These settings can be communicated to the scanner in one of two ways: 1. Commands can be sent directly from the host. A limited set of host commands are available. Refer to Appendix A: Additional Information on page 143 for more details. 2. The easiest, most comprehensive way to program the scanner is to use the Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programmining Kit

Programming Session A typical programming session is conducted as follows: 1. Scan the SET bar code at the beginning of each set of program- ming bar codes to place the scanner in Programming Mode. The scanner will emit three beeps, indicating it has read the bar code and the green LED will flash on and off slowly while the scanner remains in Programming Mode. Normal scanning functions are disabled. 2. Scan the programming label(s) that is (are) specially encoded 1 to make the desired chang

It is recommended that programming ses- sions be limited to one feature at a time. Should you make a mistake in the program- ming sequence, it can be difficult to discover where an error has been made if several fea- tures are programmed at once. Additionally, it NOTE can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have been successfully set following such a session. 3. Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to save any new settings and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will

Programming To modify a scanner feature (item), the programming bar codes con- tained in this manual must be scanned in a given sequence depending Sequence upon the feature being programmed (as shown in Table 1). There are three possible programming sequences: A. Programming sample A (the most commonly used format) demonstrates how three bar codes are scanned in sequence to do the following: 1. Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SET bar code). 1 2. Scan the Item Tag that will enable the

LED and Beeper Indicators The scanner provides a set of indicators that verify/announce the vari- ous scanner functions. LED Indicators The Amber “Laser ON” LED (located on top rear of scanner) - lights whenever laser power is on. The Green “Good Read” LED (also located on top rear of scanner) 1 - Flashes once to indicate when a “good read” has occurred. 1 - Flashes slowly on and off to indicate the scanner is in Pro- gramming Mode.

If You Make a Mistake... If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the scanner’s settings or wish to reset the scanner’s configuration, use the Return to Factory Settings label below to return the scanner’s configu- ration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions. Return to Factory Settings Scan this label to return the scanner to the default settings configured at the factory. This label is typ

Where To Go From Here Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps: If you are changing some interface types (for example; if you are moving the scanner from a Universal Keyboard Wedge to an RS-232 host) you must first change the hardware. Replace the scanner’s interface board (if required) and connect the scanner using the new interface NOTE cable BEFORE performing any programming changes. 1. If you are changing the scanner’s interface type, follow the instructions in the
