Configuring the 9560
This chapter explains how to configure the 9560 to work in your system.
Specifying Configuration Parameters
Before you use the 9560 with your system, you must specify these
configuration parameters:
• Bar code symbologies
• Reader operating parameters
• Communications protocol
6
You may be able to use the default configuration settings. Compare the default
settings listed in the tables in this section with the settings required by your
system. If your system can operate with the default settings, then skip this
chapter and proceed to Chapter 8, “Data Entry Commands.”
Use any of the following five methods to specify the configuration settings.
Bar code command label configuration You can quickly configure the 9560 for one
or more particular parameters by scanning the appropriate bar code label. For a
specific bar code command, see Chapter 7, “Configuration Commands.”
Batch configuration In Batch configuration, you can configure each reader in the
system identically. You print a bar code “menu” of the common parameters,
and then scan this into each reader. See “Using Batch Configuration,” later in
this chapter.
Default configuration Scan the Default Configuration label or download the .+
command from the host to use the factory default settings. You can scan this
label any time except when the 9560 is in Prompting Configuration mode.

Download configuration You can download configuration commands from the
host computer. See “Using Downloading Commands,” later in this chapter.
Prompting configuration The 9560 displays the configuration commands on the
reader display or terminal screen and prompts you for all the options for each
command. See “Using Prompting Configuration,” later in this chapter.
