Multiple Scanner Operation
Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one base or
Access Point. You cannot join an 8th scanner until you unlink one of the 7 scanners
or take a scanner out of range.
Note: A base can only have on Xenon XP 1952-BF scanner linked to it.
To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you
scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked from the base or Access Point and must
either be placed into the base, or you must scan the Access Point linking bar code
in order to relink.
Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes.
For example, you may want to have a unique identifier for a scanner that is receiv-
ing imaging commands sent from the base or Access Point.
The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX” If you
have more than one scanner linked to a base, and they all have the same name, the
first scanner linked to the base receives commands. When renaming a series of
scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the base.
Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 69, or by send-
ing the serial command :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName
is the current name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the scanner.
If you wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time and
repeat the :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. command for each scanner.
