PROGRAMMING VIA SCANNER INPUT
In addition to the Keyboard Configuration Manager software, your
Unitech keyboard can also be configured via undecoded (TTL) bar
code scanner input. See page 2 for scanner interface requirements.
The concept is fairly simple: Parameters are associated together
into groups. For instance, on page 37, “Beep Tone”, “Interblock
Delay”, and “Intercharacter Delay” form a group called “Beeps and
Delays”.
In order to modify a particular parameter, first you must scan an
“Enter Group X” bar code to start the procedure. For instance, to
change the Beep Tone, first you must scan the “Enter Group 2” bar
code. The keyboard will beep three times and the “Good Read”
light on the keyboard will begin to flash and will continue flashing as
long as the keyboard is in configuration mode.
Then you must scan the bar code of the parameter you’d like to
modify. To modify the Beep Tone, scan the “A1” label.
Then select a number along the left side of the page that corre-
sponds with the modification you wish to make. To set the Beep
Tone to “High”, scan the “3” label. Please note that factory default
settings are printed in bold face.
If you’d like to modify another parameter within the same group,
scan another parameter label now. To change “Intercharacter
Delay”, scan the “A3” label. Then scan the number that corre-
sponds with your requirements.
After you’re finished modifying your selected parameters in “Beeps
and Delays”, scan the “Exit” bar code at the bottom of the page to
end the modification session. The keyboard will emit a double beep
and the “good Read” light will stop flashing.
Please note that it is preferred that you use an Undecoded Scan-
ner to program your keyboard. If you must use a decoded scanner
(with an undecoded wand type cable - not RS232 - see page 2), the
scanner must be set to Wand Emulation or Undecoded mode.
Please be aware that a few keyboard parameters cannot be modi-
fied by scanner input from a decoded scanner.
An easy alternative programming method is to simply scan in the
bar codes in the Quick Setup labels on the next page, if appropriate.
