CONFIGURATION

The Omni reader must be appropriately conﬁ gured to your application.

Conﬁ guration settings enable the reader to work with the host system. These

settings are programmed into the reader through the keyboard. Once pro-

grammed, these conﬁ guration settings are stored in the reader’s non-volatile

memory (so they are not affected by the cycling of power).

Bar Code Input

The reader may need to be conﬁ gured to accept the desired bar code data and

format it for transmission to the host. This includes enabling it for the correct

bar code symblogy, setting any check digit, start/stop codes, preamble/post-

amble, and min/max symbol length. Default settings enable all least restric-

tive settings.

Magnetic Stripe Input

The reader may need to be conﬁ gured to accept the desired magnetic stripe

data and format it for transmission to the host. The encoded data can be

ANSI, ISO, AAMVA, and California Drivers License magnetic stripe formats.

The reader can be conﬁ gured to read any track, 1 only, 2 only, 3 only, 1 & 2, 2

& 3, or 1,2 &3. In addition, track start/stop sentinels can be sent or suppressed

and track 2 account number information only can be selected along with user

selectable track separator characters. Default settings enable reading on all

available tracks (depending on whether the reader is equipped to read one,

two, or three tracks).

Configuration Setup Procedure

1. On an AT-compatible computer, enter any document editor. (Notepad is

recommend in the Windows environment.)

2. Turn on the CAPS LOCK feature on the keyboard, as the conﬁ guration

code is case sensitive.

3. Identify the settings that you wish to change. All options are covered in the

various setup groups explained in this manual. (The reader’s related setting

features are grouped together.)

4. Enter the GROUP SETUP MODE by typing

/E/D/FX

(where X is the

group name identiﬁ ed in Step 3).
