Data Capture for Workforce in Motion Introduction The RoadRunners Evolution scanner can be programmed by scanning barcode labels which contain commands for the decoder. Programming labels must be Code128, with specific starting and ending characters. These labels will always be read, even if Code128 symbology is disabled. The scanner will acknowledge a good and valid programming barcode label reading with two beeps and a green enlightening of the led. It will give two other beeps (l
