between a scanner and a base station make it possible for a group of associated

scanners/base to ignore other groups of units with different IDs on the same

frequency. This is not recommended, but where separation is the rule and

overlap is the occasional exception, this grouping ID becomes practical.

Because there is "collision detect and retry" logic built into every two- way RF

scanner and two-way Base Station, units can share the same frequency and

still operate, providing the transaction volume is not so high that collisions and

retries slow down the response time. Use a-z to make the associations. Scan

Set ID Character and the scan a-z for every scanner in the group. Be sure all

other base stations on the same frequency are turned off when making these

groupings. You will need to label the scanners by groups.

Be sure that all base stations in the same room on the sharing the same

frequency as the group you are assigning are powered off, otherwise all

common frequency bases will be set to the same ID character, (which you

don't want to do).

Link Test Code

This is a code to test the transmission link between the Wireless Scanner and

its Base Station, without transmitting data. You can use this to be sure you are

in range and able to hear the base station beeping. No data is transmitted. Do

not enter the Setup Mode when performing the link test. This code is the

same as the "Clear Buffer" code on the Barpad Menu.

Reset

Once you are in the Setup Mode, don't scan Reset unless you're sure you want

to restore the Wireless Reader to its default settings (as described on page 9),

erasing all changes you've made.

DIFFICULT CODE SETUP OPTIONS

Aiming Laser Dot: Sometimes it is difficult to see the laser beam and know

you are on the bar code, especially if you are attempting to read outdoors in

direct sunlight. The laser can be outputted as a brighter dot for a few seconds,

allowing the user to place the dot in the middle of the bar code; then the laser

beam starts sweeping for the read. As shipped, the laser beam never forms an

aiming dot, but you can program a number of seconds that you wish the

aiming dot to appear before the sweeping beam by scanning the following:

Scan Protocol

Scan 3 to select a 1 second aiming dot, or

4 to select a 2 second aiming dot, or

5 to select a 3 second aiming dot, or

6 to select a 4 second aiming dot, or

7 to select a 5 second aiming dot, or

2, the default, to eliminate an aiming dot.
