Introduction

The programming bar code labels contained in this manual allow you

to customize and configure features and settings for your PSC Imager

8000 2D handheld reader. To ensure full compatibility and proper

function, use only the programming bar codes in this manual and

other product-specific publications to program reader features. Addi-

tional programming features are available by using the OSPV (On-

Screen Programming and Viewing) software included with your PSC

Imager 8000 2D Handheld Reader.

This manual has been developed to make it quick and easy for users

of all levels to find the information needed to understand and config-

ure reader features.

Understanding the Basics

If you have little or no prior experience with programming using bar

code labels, you should review this introductory section to familiar-

ize yourself with the basics of reader programming before perform-

ing any changes to your reader's configuration. Contents of this

section are:

•Integrating the Reader with Your Host System

•Customizing Your Reader's Operation

•Programming Overview

•If You Make A Mistake

•Where to Go From Here

2Imager 8000 Programming Guide

Integrating the Reader With Your Host System

Your reader MUST be equipped with the correct hardware (interface

board, cable, etc.) to properly communicate with your host system.

Contact your PSC dealer for information if you have questions about

your reader's hardware compatibility.

Your reader may have been custom configured with settings that are

unique to your company or application. You may also want to contact

the dealer or your system administrator if you have no record of how

your reader was pre-programmed at the factory.

Once you know the reader's current settings, you can determine what

changes will be required to allow communication with your host sys-

tem and/or optional features you choose to modify to customize

your installation. After recording the modifications needed, finish

reading this section, then turn to the appropriate page and follow the

instructions to program the reader.

When all reader features are programmed to your satisfaction, the

reader is ready to be placed into operation.

R44-2075 3

Customizing Your Reader's Operation

Most reader programming falls within three general categories:

•Host Communication Interface Selection and Settings —

These are the mandatory settings necessary to allow commu-

nication with your host terminal. Examples of these settings

are RS-232 baud rate and parity.

•Symbology Selection and Settings — To improve the

reader's performance, active symbology recognition may be

limited to only those symbologies in use at your site. The

reader has the capability to autodiscriminate as few as one,

and as many as all available symbologies. Additionally, the

reader may be programmed with the standard options avail-

able for the various symbologies, such as check digit, mini-

mum label length, fixed and variable length bar codes, etc.

•General Feature Settings — These features are common to

all interface types. Examples include beeper adjustments

such as volume and length, read verification settings, etc.

If you experience difficulties, have questions or require additional

information, contact your local distributor, or call PSC directly using

the listings located on the back cover of this guide.

NOTE

Ensure that your planned modifications are compatible

with your system. The Reader will sound an error tone

when reading programming labels for features invalid to

your system.

4Imager 8000 Programming Guide

Programming Overview

The reader's programmable feature settings can be modified to

accommodate your system's unique requirements. These settings can

be communicated to the reader in one of two ways:

1. On-Screen Programming and Viewing Software allows

commands to be sent directly from the host. This software

provides menus and click-on selections to enable users to

easily reconfigure the reader for their particular environ-

ment. The software provides the same selections as the pro-

gramming labels in this Programming Guide.

2. Programming bar code labels can also be used to modify the

reader's programmable settings. This manual provides the

bar code labels and instructions necessary to configure the

reader's features. Note that if you configure the reader using

these bar codes, the reader will store the changes until recon-

figured or returned to the active defaults.

If You Make a Mistake...

If, during a programming session, you find that you are unsure of the

reader's settings or wish to re-set the reader's configuration, use the

Reset to Customer Defaults label below to return the reader's configu-

ration to the default settings. Scanning this label will also reset any

changes made during previous programming sessions.

NOTE

If your Reader was not preconfigured with specific set-

tings, use the Reset to PSC Defaults to restore factory

default settings.

Your reader may have been ordered preconfigured with

specific settings that may differ from factory default set-

tings. Read the Reset to Customer Defaults bar code on

page 10 to restore those preconfigured settings.

CAUTION

Use this label with caution, since it will reset ALL

features.
