INTRODUCTION
Scanning a series of programming bar code labels can configure the scanner.
The scanner must be properly powered before programming.
During the programming mode, the scanner will acknowledge a good and valid reading with a short beep. It will give
long beeps for either an invalid or bad reading.
PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Programmable options are divided into 2 groups. The first group includes the options that show the general behaviour of
the scanner. The second group sets the decoding parameters for each barcode symbology.
SCANNING INSTRUCTIONS
The Programming Guide barcodes should be scanned with a full charged set of batteries.
The BLR2604 scanning distance is 60 cm.
