You cannot join an eighth scanner until you unlink one of the7 scanners or take a scanner out of range.Scanner NameMultiple Scanner OperationYou are able to assign a name to each scanner you are using. It will be helpfulto name the scanners if you have multiple scanners linked to one base so thatyou will be able to control the scanner receiving imaging commands sent fromthe base. The default name for an 3820 is “3820”. If you have more than one3820 linked to a base, the first scanner that is linked to the base receivescommands addressed using this name.Changing Scanner Name - SeriallyIf you wish to change the name, you may change it via a serial command (referto "Menu Command Syntax" on page 10-1) or via a bar code command.
