One way to do this is to scan the bar codebelow and scan a number for the imager name. For example, if you had 7imagers to one base, scan the bar code below with the first imager, scan the 1bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual andscan Save. Then scan the Reset bar code and wait for the scanner to re-link tothe base before scanning the next bar code. Repeat that process for imagernumber 2, 3, 4 etc.If you want to assign an alphabetic name to the imager, create a Code 128 barcode containing “~BT_NAMname.” followed by a FNC3 character (hexidecimal83), wherename is the new imager name. Scan the Reset bar code (page 3-8or on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual). You mayuse Barcode Builder, which is included with Quick*View. Refer to Quick*View onpage 11-5 for instructions about downloading Quick*View from the Hand HeldProducts website: www.handheld.com.Imager ReportScan the bar code below to generate a report for the connected imagers. Thereport indicates the port, work group, imager name, and address.Application Work GroupsYour cordless system can have up to seven imagers linked to one base. You canalso have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the imagers’settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one work group. Ifyou want each imager to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix,data formatter), then you may program each imager to its own unique work groupand may program each imager independently. For example, you might want tohave multiple work groups in a retail/warehouse application where you need tohave different data appended to bar codes used in the warehouse area versusthe retail area. You could assign all of the imagers in the retail area to one workgroup and those in the warehouse to another. Consequently, any desiredchanges to either the retail or warehouse area would apply to all imagers in thatparticular work group. Visual Xpress (page 11-4) makes it easy for you toprogram your system for use with multiple imagers and multiple work groups.Imager NameImager Report
