Prog ramming Guide 1 Intr oduction The programming bar co d e l abels contained in th is manual wil l allow you to customize and configure fe atures and settings for your PSC ® PowerScan ™ s canner .
2 Powe rSc an ™ Sc anner Integr ating the Scanner With Y our Host System Y our scanner MUST be equipped with the co rrect har dware (interface boar d, cable, etc.) to pr operly communicate with your host system. Contact you r PSC dealer for informat ion if you have question s about your scanner ’ s hardware compatibility .
Prog ramming Guide 3 T o determine if your desired new interface is ava ilable on your scanne r , check the following secti on titled Software on page 4. The section list s host interface types supported by each interfa ce board available a t the time of this wr itin g.
4 Powe rSc an ™ Sc anner Soft ware V erify that you r scanner supports the desired interface 1 . The list below indicates the interface groupings the scanner su pports. Contact your near est PSC service depot if you don ’ t know your sc a nner ’ s group, or need assistance to ch ange the scanner to another interface gr oup.
Prog ramming Guide 5 After familiarizin g yo urself with th e b asi c scan ner programming pro- cedures in this section, turn to the appropriate interface programming section ( RS-232 , W and Emulatio n, etc. ) of this m anual to se t other inte r- face featur es, completing the scanner ’ s con versi on to a new inter face type.
6 Powe rSc an ™ Sc anner Pr ogramming Ov erview The scanner ’ s programmable fea ture settin gs can be mod if ie d to accommodate your system ’ s unique r equirements. These settings can be communicated to the scanner in one of two ways: 1. Commands can be sent directly from the host.
Prog ramming Guide 7 Programming Sess ion A typical programming session is con d ucted as follows: 1. Scan the SET bar co de at the beginning of each set of program- ming bar codes to place the scanner in Programming Mode.
8 Powe rSc an ™ Sc anner 3. Scan the END label at the bottom of the page to save any new settings and exit Programm ing M ode. The s canner will sound a beep and r eset upon exiting Programming Mode, an d the green LED wi ll return to its usual state (on stead y or off).
Prog ramming Guide 9 Programming Sequence T o modif y a scan ner fe atur e (it em), the pr ogramm ing bar cod es con- tained in this manua l must be scanned in a given sequen ce depending upon the featur e being programmed (as s hown in T able 1). There ar e three possible programming sequences: A.
