Introduction  
Scanning a series of programming bar code labels can  
configure the scanner.  
The scanner must be properly powered before program-  
ming.  
During the programming mode, the scanner will ack-  
nowledge a good and valid reading with a short beep. It  
will give long beeps for either an invalid or bad reading.

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.

6.3 Barcode identifier code setting  
Each of the series type scanners can set max.2 digits as  
barcode identifier code according to different barcode.  
The procedure is as follows:  
1. Scan “Start of configuration” label  
2. Scan “Barcode identifier setting code” label.  
3. Scan the new code mark from ASCII table (max. two  
digits). For example, if one “AB” want for code mark  
then scan “A” and “B”.  
4. Scan “Set” label.  
5. Scan “ End of configuration” label.

6.1 Prefix and suffix  
This option allows you to append a prefix and/or a suffix  
to every message transmitted. There is no restriction in  
selecting prefix or suffix characters as far as the sum of  
the lengths of prefix and suffix is not greater than 10  
digits.  
You  
BaracodaManager previously to configurate prefix  
and/or suffix (see 2604 protocol or  
BaracodaManager document)  
must  
enable  
prefix/suffix  
with  
the
