Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner
If you link a scanner to a base or an Access Point using the Locked
Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are
inadvertently placed into the base, or if the Access Point linking bar
code is scanned. If you do place a different scanner into a base, it will
charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.
To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by
scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See Scanner Modes, page
3-13.)
Open Link Mode - Single Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not
linked to a base or an Access Point. A link is established when the
scanner is placed into a base, or an Access Point linking bar code is
scanned. When in Open Link Mode, a new link is established when a
new scanner is placed in the base, or you scan an Access Point linking
bar code. Each time a scanner is placed into a base or scans an
Access Point linking bar code, the scanner becomes linked to the base
or Access point and the old scanner is unlinked.
Unlinking the Scanner
If a base or an Access Point has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be
unlinked before a new scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is
unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base or Access Point. To unlink
the scanner from a base or an Access Point, scan the Unlink Scanner bar
code below.
