Write the Program

1. Identifyrequirements.Thefirstthingistodeterminethe requirementsoftheRealScan78installation.Thisincludes informationaboutthecommunicationsprotocol,thetypesof barcodestobescanned,theuseofgoodreadtones,andscanner timeouts. 2. Completetheprogrammingworksheets.Usingthedescriptions containedinthisdocument,completeeachprogramming worksheet.Writetheentriesoftheprograminthespaceprovided. RefertotheProgrammingWorksheetsectioninChapter5for specificinformationabouteachparameter.

Enter the Program

1. Entertheprogrammingmode.ScantheProgramModetag.Thismust bethefirsttagscannedaftersupplyingpowertothe RealScan78(orthefirsttagafterscanningtheResettag). 2. Entertheparametersforeachspecificprogram.ScanthetwoHextags toselectaspecificprogram,andthenenterallparameterdataforit. Afteralltheinformationhasbeenentered,theRealScan78returns toprogrammingmode.Repeatthisprocedureforeachspecific programthatneedstobechanged. Note: Aspecificprogramdoesnotneedtobeenteredifitsassociated programmingisalreadycorrect.
Save the Program
