CHAPTER 7 IBM 468X / 469X
INTERFACE
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an IBM 468X/469X host.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 7-1 on page 7-3 (also see Appendix A, Standard Parameter
Defaults for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the scanner powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan Set Factory Defaults on page 9-5. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to select the Port 9B address, scan
the Hand-held Scanner Emulation (Port 9B) bar code under Port Address on page 7-4. The scanner issues a
fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See the parameter descriptions for this procedure.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars
and/or spaces do not merge.
