To do this, the barcode scanner must beproperly configured and barcode scanning must be enabled.Configuring the Barcode ScannerUse a personal computer to configure the barcode scanner before connecting it to the SVC USB port. Refer tothe barcode scanner manufacturer’s documentation when configuring the barcode scanner. Observe the followingguidelines:• Configure the scanner to read target symbology (for example, Code-128, Code-93, Code-39, etc.).• Configure the scanner to terminate a scan with carriage return (CR) enabled.• The program to be executed by the robot will have a label (Program Name) that matches the barcode that willbe scanned. Ensure that the barcode includes the exact Program Name.• A barcode can consist of any combination of the uppercase letters A-Z, digits 0–9, and any number of thefollowing special characters: dash (-), period (.), or underscore (_). The maximum length of characters is fifteen.Enabling or Disabling Barcode ScanningFor the system to execute a program using a barcode scanner, the following must occur:• A program number must have a program name. Refer to “How to Name a Program” on page 46.• A barcode that includes the exact same name as the program to be executed must be generated (refer to“Configuring the Barcode Scanner” above).• A properly configured barcode scanner must be connected to the SVC USB port on the front of the robot (referto “Configuring the Barcode Scanner” above).• Barcode scanning must be enabled (refer to page 43).• The system must be in the Run Mode.EXAMPLE: A program name is TEST. The programmer generates a barcode with the name TEST embedded inthe barcode. With the robot in the Run Mode, an operator scans the TEST barcode and the system matches thebarcode to the program with the same name (in this case, TEST) and the robot begins executing the program.
