Bar Code Programming Menu The FuzzyScan bar code commands are specially designed Proprietary bar code labels which allow you to set the FuzzyScan internal programming parameters. There are System Command, Family Code and Option Code for programming purpose. Each programmable family and bar code command label is listed on the same page with major system commands. The detailed explanations and special programming flowchart are printed on facing or following pages. You can read the explanation and set the FuzzyScan concurrently. A supplemental bar code command menu incorporates the bar code command labels of System Command and Option Code. As you set the FuzzyScan, open the bar code command menu to find the option code page. You may scan the desired family code and option code to set FuzzyScan. If you want to change the programming family for multiple settings, you need only turn over the programming page to find next desired programming family. System Command The System Command is the highest level bar code command which directs FuzzyScan to perform immediate operations, such as entering programming mode ( ), exiting programming mode (EXIT), listing system information (SYSLIST), recovering to factory preset configurations (), and so on. Please note that all system commands will take a few seconds to complete the operations. User must wait for the completion beeps before scanning another bar code. Family Code The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired programming family. FuzzyScan has already provided more than one hundred programming families to meet any specific requirements. Option Code The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands represented by 9, A F and finishing selection (). For most setting, you must select at least one option code following the family code selection to set the desired parameter for the selected programming family. -6

Programming Procedures As you scan the bar code command to select the desired parameters, information about the final selected parameters represented by the bar code commands are stored in the FuzzyScan s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory. If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory retains all programming options. You need not re-program the FuzzyScan if you want to keep the existing configurations in the next power on. The programming procedures of FuzzyScan are designed as simple as possible for ease of setting. Most programming families take the Single Scan Selection programming procedure. But several programming families have more complex and flexible programmable options, and you must take Multiple Scans Selection, Cycling Scan Selection or Dual Level Selection to complete their programming procedures. Each kind of programming procedure is listed in the following pages for your reference. Please give careful attention to become familiar with each programming procedure. However, if you are the user of FuzzyScan Gold/Jade/Diamond series scanners, you are encouraged to use the PowerTool for convenience. If the programming family must take multiple scans selection, cycling scan selection, or dual level selection procedures, the family of the programming menu will be marked with the matched representing symbol of Programming Category (P.C.) in bold font listed in the following table. You can easily find the bold mark in the programming menu, and refer to their flowcharts for details.
