Turn to the appropriate page in this manual and enable the desired interface or interface sub-type by scanning its programming bar code. These interface/interface sub-type selection bar codes are located at the beginning of each of these sections of the manual: IBM, OCIA, Wand Emulation, RS-232, and Keyboard Wedge. This will enable the software for the new interface and disable the 'old' interface software. Once enabled, the new interface becomes the default interface that is active whenever power is applied to the scanner. Scan a bar code to verify that the scanner communicates correctly with the host system. Some sample bar codes are provided on the last pages of this manual. If any changes to the scanner's factory settings are needed, use the instructions titled, Customizing Your Scanner Operation.
Customizing Your Scanner Operation
When enabling a new interface, it may be necessary to modify the original factory settings to match your specific host system's communication and symbology requirements. Check with your system administrator to identify your host system's specific interface requirements to ensure that they match the new interface you've selected. Also, the scanner's operational features, such as speaker volume, can be customized to match your unique requirements. 1. Use the labels in this manual to modify the standard configuration to match your specific interface requirements or user preference. NOTE Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible with the current interface. For example, baud rate selections are only valid in the RS-232 interface. The scanner will sound an error tone (six rapid beeps) when scanning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface. 2. 3. 4. Enable any additional symbologies as required and exit Programming Mode. Scan a regular bar code label and verify that the scanner and host communicate correctly. You have completed the factory settings change procedure.

If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional information, contact your local distributor using the listings located on the back cover of this guide.

Programming Overview

This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features. These features can be configured using the bar code labels contained in this manual or by using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix A, Additional Information, for host programming details. If you program the scanner using these bar codes, the scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed.
What Is Programming Mode?
To change the scanner's programmed settings, it is necessary to place the scanner in Programming Mode using the special SET label. This ensures that the scanner only recognizes the special programming labels contained in this programming guide.
How To Program Using Bar Codes
The following pages contain special bar code labels that are used to change or enable the scanner's programmable options. All programming sessions follow this order, unless otherwise instructed: 1. 2. Scan the SET label at the top of the page. The scanner will emit a 'good read' beep, indicating it has read the label. Scan the feature label(s) for the programmable options you wish to enable. With few exceptions1, the scanner will emit a triple beep each time you scan a valid programming label. (Note that not all features are available for all interfaces and that the scanner will sound an error tone when scanning programming labels for features invalid to the current interface.) Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to complete the programming session and exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound one 'good read' beep upon exiting Programming Mode. Maintain a good record of all changes made to ensure that you know if the original factory settings have been changed.
Some features, such as Minimum Label Length or Label ID, require you to select the length by scanning a series of single-digit bar codes. A single 'good read' beep is sounded when scanning these single digits in Programming Mode. Only the final required digit in the sequence will produce a triple beep when scanned, indicating a successfully programmed feature.

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. Additionally, 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.

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 on this page to return the scanner's configuration to the factory settings. Scanning this label will also reset any changes made during previous programming sessions.

Software Control

XON/XOFF this is software handshaking that allows the host to control data transmission. If the host sends an XOFF command to the scanner, the scanner will not send the bar code data until it receives an XON command from the host. If the host sends the XOFF command during data transmission, the host will receive additional characters for no more than 2msec1.
NOTE Hardware/software controls are mutually exclusive. Enable only one of these features at a time, as enabling multiple controls can produce unpredictable results.

Label Transmit Format Configuration Items
(RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge Interfaces Only)
If you need to send information in addition to label data, the scanner can be configured to transmit prefixes and/or suffixes as well as symbology specific identifier characters (Label I.D.).

Prefix & Suffix

As the examples below show, none, one or two symbology specific ASCII characters can be added to the beginning of label in addition to multiple prefix and suffix characters.
NOTE Using this feature requires a thorough understanding of your specific system requirements.
The options available using this feature are: Symbology specific (0 - 2) characters + label data PP + label data Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + label data CpCp + label data Label data + non-symbology specific characters (0-2) as a suffix label data + CsCs Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + symbology specific characters (0-2) + label data CpCp + PP + label data Symbology specific characters (0-2) + label data + nonsymbology specific characters (1-2) as a suffix PP + label data + CsCs
Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + label data + non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a suffix CpCp + label data + CsCs Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + symbology specific characters (0-2) + label data + non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a suffix CpCp + PP + label data + CsCs Non-symbology specific characters (1-2) as a prefix + label data + symbology specific characters + non-symbology specific characters used as suffixes. CpCp + label data + PP + CsCs

For example, if you are going to send two suffix characters as 'BEL' (sound host tone) and 'ETX' (end transmission). The ASCII chart shows that 'BEL' equals 07 hex and 'ETX' equals 03hex.
Scan the SET label. Scan the SET SUFFIX label on this page. Scan the digits that correspond to the Hex Values.
For the example in step five, scan 0, 7, 0, 3.
You have added a two character suffix to all label data, regardless of label symbology, that will be added to the label data before it is sent to the host.
---------------------------------------------SET S UFFIX ------------------------
Go to the next two pages and scan the appropriate characters before scanning the END label to exit programming session.
Setting A Single Character Prefix or Suffix
To set one ASCII character as a prefix or suffix, follow steps one through four on the previous two pages (select prefix or suffix), then. 1. Scan the two digit Hex Code for that character. (e.g. 03, 8F,.FF) NOTE If you make a mistake, or lose your place while setting this option, scan the END label to exit Programming Mode. The scanner will sound an error tone (six rapid beeps) to indicate that programming was incomplete, and the setting will remain as it was before entering Programming Mode. 2. 3. Scan the ONE CHARACTER ONLY label on the following page. Scan the END label.
You have set a single character prefix or suffix.
Setting Prefix and/or Suffix Characters
NOTE You must scan the SET label and either the SET PREFIX or SET SUFFIX label before using the labels on this page.

The information below provides a brief description of the programmable UPC/EAN features included on the following pages. Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 adds a leading zero to a UPC-A label which 'expands' the label to the EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13. Expand UPC-E to UPC-A expands UPC-E labels to UPC-A data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for UPC-A. If this feature and Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 are both enabled, label data will be sent to the host in EAN-13 label format. Expand EAN-8 to EAN-13 adds five zeros in front of an EAN-8 label. Data is sent in EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13. Expand UPC-E to EAN-13 expands UPC-E labels to EAN-13 data format. Selecting this feature also changes the symbology ID to match those required for EAN-13. UPC-A or UPC-E and EAN-8 or EAN-13 Two and Five Digit AddOns Optional scanner will read UPC/EAN bar codes with or without add-ons. Required UPC/EAN bar codes must have add-on or label will not be read. Disable scanner will not recognize/read add-on portion of UPC/ EAN labels, but will read the main body of the label. Price/Weight Check Digit provides options for enabling price/ weight check digits. The feature includes selections for domestic four or five digit, and European four or five digit, as well as the option to disable the price/weight check.

UPC/EAN Expansion

Use these labels to enable or disable: Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 Expand UPC-E to UPC-A Expand EAN-8 to EAN-13 Expand UPC-E to EAN-13

UPC-E TO EAN-13

EAN-8 TO EAN-13
When any expansion feature is enabled, the transmission of the Prefix, Suffix, Check Digit and Number System Digit (NSD) are controlled by your selections for the symbology 'expanded to' rather than the symbology 'expanded from'. For example, if you expand UPC-E to UPC-A, settings for UPC-A determine how the scanner sends a bar code's contents.

UPC/EAN Add-Ons

If you need to scan UPC or EAN labels that include add-on codes, the selections on this page set the scanner's Add-on feature. Three add-on read modes are available: optional, required and disabled. Optional the scanner will recognize UPC bar codes with or without add-ons. NOTE Due to the structure of add-on codes, selecting the Optional setting makes it impossible to ensure that the scanner will always read the add-on portion of the label. Datalogic makes no guarantee, either written or implied, that scanners with optional add-on decoding enabled will perform with the speed and accuracy required for any given application. Required the scanner will not recognize or decode any UPC/ EAN labels that do not contain an add-on segment. Disabled the scanner will not recognize or decode any addon segment of UPC/EAN labels. The scanner will read and decode the standard UPC/EAN portion of the label.

Setting Fixed Lengths If you are setting a length less than ten, you must scan a zero first and then the length digit ( 04, 06, 08). 4. Set the first fixed label length by scanning the correct digits from the next two pages. If you need to set a second fixed length, continue with step five. If you do not need to set a second fixed length scan the NO SECOND FIXED LENGTH below and skip to step seven. 5. 6. 7. Scan the SET SECOND FIXED label. Set the second fixed label length by scanning the correct digits from this page. Scan the END label to complete the procedure.
Setting Minimum Label Length 1. Identify the minimum length setting you want to make. The selectable range is 00 to 50 * characters. 2. 3. Scan the SET label. Scan the SET MINIMUM LABEL LENGTH bar code.
If you are setting a length less than ten, you must scan a zero first and then the length digit ( 04, 06, 08). 4. 5.

Standard 2 of 5

The Standard 2 of 5 symbology has the following programmable features: Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify that the Check Digit contained in the bar code label is correct. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must contain a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit independent of whether the Check Digit is calculated by the scanner. The Transmit Check Digit will have no effect unless the Compute Check Digit feature is enabled. If you choose Dont Compute Check Digit, the scanner sends the Check Digit encoded in the bar code without verifying its accuracy. If you choose both Compute Check Digit and Don't Transmit Check Digit, the scanner will remove the Check Digit's contents before sending the bar code data to the host. The Transmit Check Digit option has no effect unless the Compute Check Digit option is enabled. Label Format provides the selection between fixed or variable length labels. If your application has labels with specific fixed lengths, we recommend selecting fixed lengths to improve read rate and avoid short reads. You can select any valid number of digits for reading specific length labels only. Read the following details for specific Standard 2 of 5 limits.

Setting Minimum Label Length 1. Identify the minimum length setting you want to make. The selectable range is 01 to 50 * characters. 2. 3. Scan the SET label. Scan the SET MINIMUM LABEL LENGTH bar code.

Codabar Options

The Codabar symbology has the following programmable features: Check Digit calculates the Check Digit to verify the label's contents have been read correctly. If you enable this feature, your bar codes must include a Check Digit. You may also choose to transmit or not transmit the Check Digit. Start/Stop Characters you can choose either Send or Don't Send depending on your host's interface requirement. Start/Stop Format if you need to send the Start/Stop characters, there are four standard format options that you can select from; ABCD/TN*E, ABCD/ABCD, abcd/tn*e, or abcd/abcd. This setting must match your system requirements. If you select one of these options, it determines how the ASCII characters A, B, C, D that are used for Start/Stop characters, will be translated before being sent to the host. Start/Stop Match the requirement that the Start and Stop characters must match (be identical) can be enabled or disabled. Label Format provides the selection between fixed or variable length labels. If your application has labels with specific fixed length, we recommend selecting fixed lengths to improve read rate. If you select variable length, the scanner will recognize labels with between 03 and 47 * digits (not including the optional check digit). Set First Fixed Length if you select fixed length, use this feature to set a first fixed label length to a setting between 03 and 50 * digits. Set Second Fixed Length if you select fixed length, use this feature to set a second fixed label length to a setting between 03 and 50 * digits. No Second Fixed Length scan this label after setting the first fixed length to instruct the scanner to recognize only the label length chosen as the first label length. Gap Check allows the scanner to combine two label halves printed in close proximity to each other that may have been printed at different times and perhaps different locations.

Low Power Mode

QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus incorporates two optional low power modes to optimize power usage and extend scanner life.
NOTE These features are only available with RS-232, Wand Emulation and Keyboard Wedge host interfaces. WARNING DO NOT use Very Low Power Mode in conjunction with Stand Mode, as this feature is not compatible and may cause unexpected behavior. Low Power Idle places the scanner's microcontroller into a WAIT state during idle periods. Any interrupt will bring the scanner to life, including internal timer and watchdog events. Very Low Power Mode (RS-232 and Wand Emulation interfaces ONLY1) places the scanner in a STOP state during idle periods. The scanner can only be brought out of its STOP state by a trigger pull or hardware reset.
---------------------------------------------DISABLE ----------------------------LOW P OWER IDLE -----------------VERY LOW POWER MODE1 ------------------------------------------------------------

LOW P OWER MODE

Very Low Power Mode can be used with RS-232 and Wand Emulation Interfaces ONLY. If Very Low Power Mode is selected with other interfaces will cause the scanner to default to Low Power Idle instead.

Debug Mode

When enabled, this mode will cause any product labels that are read to be discarded with no attempt made to transmit them to a host. Any host scanning control will also be disabled while this option is in effect. This mode may be enabled in conjunction with any of the defined host interfaces. All other programmable options that are set for that interface will remain in effect while in debug mode.

DEBUG MODE

AutoSense Stand Mode
AutoSense Stand Mode must be enabled when the scanner is used with the QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus stand accessory. This feature allows "hands free" operation of the scanner when placed in the stand. WARNING Very Low Power Mode must be disabled when using AutoSense Stand Mode, as these features are not compatible and may cause unexpected behavior.
