Programming Guide 5 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.
6 QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus 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).
Programming Guide 7 If Y ou 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.
8 QuickScan 6000/6000 Plus Where T o Go From Here Programming is easy and straightforward if you follow these steps: 1. If you are changing interfaces, first connect the scanner to the new host using the new interface cable. Scan the interface enable bar code label 1 .
