6QuickScan 6000/6000 PlusThe Programming SessionIt is possible to program multiple features during a single programmingsession (a programming session is defined as the period of time betweenscanning the “set” label and scanning the “end” label). However, it is recommendedthat sessions be limited to one feature, as it can be difficult to discover where an errorhas been made, should you make a mistake in the programming sequence. Addition-ally, it can be confusing to determine which features may or may not have beensuccessfully set following such a session.The scanner will not exit Programming Mode unless the END label is scanned.Disconnecting power during Programming Mode, before scanning the END label,will cause the scanner to forget any programming labels scanned during the currentprogramming session and will cause the scanner to return to its previous settings.Scanner Response When In Programming ModeAs discussed earlier, Programming Mode is entered by scanning a SETlabel. The green LED will flash continuously at 1Hz duty cycle while thescanner is in Programming Mode. As long as it is in Programming Mode,the scanner will not decode regular bar code labels and will only enablefeatures supported by the currently active interface.Scanning regular (non-programming) bar code labels — thescanner will reject the label, sounding an error tone (six rapidbeeps).Scanning a valid programming label —a . If the feature is supported by the active interface, thescanner will sound three beeps.b. If incorrect programming has been entered, the error tonewill be sounded (six rapid beeps). Additionally, whenprogramming a feature requiring you to scan single digitsto set a multi-digit number, such as Minimum LabelLength or Label ID, scanning the END label beforecompleting all input will result in an error tone and causethe scanner to exit Programming Mode. Under thesecircumstances, the current feature you were trying to setis thrown out; any previous labels scanned during thesession will take effect.
