Configuration Codes

This manual provides a list of Configuration Codes which are special Data Matrix codes to configure your reader without the DataMan Setup Tool. The reader beeps and the lights of the reader flash once to indicate a successful read of a Configuration Code. The reader beeps twice to indicate a successful read of a Configuration Code but the command cannot be executed, for example, because of the command not being valid for the type of reader used for reading the code.

Use Manual or Presentation trigger mode to read Configuration Codes without enabling the decoding of Data Matrix symbols.

Adjust focus settings if you have trouble reading Configuration Codes.

Note:

  • When applying polarized filter on the reader, it is recommended to read the codes from a printed material. It is possible that the reader with a polarized filter cannot read the code correctly from a screen.

  • When using wireless handheld readers, you have to put the reader on the base station for security reasons after reading a printed configuration code.
  • The asterisk indicates the default value for all the consecutive or the indicated reader(s).
