8. Configuring your 1160
Configuring the 1160 Scanner is done by reading the setup labels contained in the
Configuration Manual (the second part of this manual). This section describes the
procedure of configuring the scanner. Some configuration examples are also given
in this section for illustration.
8.1 Enter Configuration Mode
To start the configuration, the “Enter Setup” label must be read. This will put the
scanner in the configuration mode. The scanner will respond with 6 beeps and the
indicator will turn green after the label is read. This “Enter Setup” label is located
at the bottom of almost every even page of the Configuration Manual.
8.2 Default
All the parameters of the scanner will return to their default values by reading the
“Default” label. The scanner will beep twice when the “Default” label is read.
8.3 List Setting
The current setting of all scanner parameters can be sent to the host computer for
user inspection. The listing is separated into ten pages. User can select the page of
interest by reading the “Page x” label

8.4 Setting Parameter Values
For most of the parameters, only one read is required to set them to new values.
The scanner will respond with two beeps when these parameters are configured.
But for some special parameters, multiple reads are required to complete the
setting. The scanner will respond with a short beep if the configuration of the
parameter is still not complete. These parameters usually refer to a numeric value
or a string of characters, such as keyboard type, inter-character delay, prefix /
postfix code, etc..
For these kinds of parameters, the label of the parameter to be configured must be
read first. Then the labels comprising the numeric value or character string are
