Datalogic Aladdin™ Utility
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configura-
tion application which is available for free download from the Datalogic website listed
on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program allows device con-
figuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can
also create configuration bar codes to print.
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-
friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. The Aladdin utility is
available on the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by select-
ing configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a
PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface,
or they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected
device (see the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
