About the Scanner
Typically, units are factory-programmed for the appropriate terminal and communications
settings. If modification is needed for any programmable settings, custom configuration can
be accomplished by scanning the programming barcodes within this guide.
Programming can alternatively be performed using t
he HP Configuration application that
can be installed from the CD included with the scanner. This multi-platform utility program
allows device configuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using the host
interface cable and can also create configuration barcodes to print.
Advancements in the LED technology used in the image
r-based scanners significantly
improve the illumination of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency.
Whether used in Single Trigger or Continuous Mode, the ergonomic design of the scanner
will help to promote efficient retail performance during extended periods of use.
Programming the Scanner
Configuration Methods
Programming Barcodes
The scanner is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface barcode (optional - only if you wish to change the host interface type), you can
select other options and customize your scanner through use of the instructions and
programming barcode labels available in the corresponding features section for your
interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters"
starting on page 11.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 10, require only the
scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, how
ever, require the scanner to be placed
in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter
Programming Mode. Once the scanner is in Programming Mode, scan a number of
parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will
then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the scanner to normal
operation.
HP Configuration Software
HP Configurator is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the USB-COM interface. The application is available on the CD-
ROM provided with your product, and also from the HP website. It allows you to program
the scanner by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface
running on a PC. These commands are sent to the scanner over the USB host interface, or
they can be printed as barcodes to be scanned.
The utility also provides the ability to perform a software
upgrade for the connected device.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.
