[Wactclc-alma] Configuring my new Symbol LS2208 barcode scanners

[Guidry, Wade]

I remembered that trick because I vaguely recall having to do something similar a few years ago with a stubborn configuration barcode.

Thanks Wade and Kirsti.  The Enable Notis editing barcode that Wade sent did the trick.  All five barcode scanners now functioning.

Dale,

The last time I had to configure a Symbol scanner, I called the 1-800 support line for Zebra (1-800-653-5350<tel:(800)%20653-5350>) and they stayed on the phone with me for about half an hour until we got everything working the way I wanted it.


My notes say that I scanned the following configuration barcodes in this order:

Codabar -

1) Enable Codabar (p. 12-45)
2) Enable NOTIS Editing (p. 12-47)


ISBN -

1) Enable Bookland EAN
2) Bookland ISBN-13


I saved a copy of the full manual online.  You’re absolutely welcome to use it:

Let me know if you have problems with the link.

Kirsti

Wade,

I didn't have a printed manual so I have been printing out the barcodes from the online manual.  I have printed the barcode for enabling NOTIS; however, my scanner reads everything else, but won't read the "Enable NOTIS Editing" barcode.

Do you know if I have to enter the barcodes in a particular order, say enter the NOTIS barcode before the Coabar barcode or vice-versa?

Thanks!

Dale,

Enable NOTIS editing to strip the start and stop characters.

There should be a configuration barcode in the manual for enabling it.

If not, you could print out page 47 of the online manual:

I don't know if any of you have encountered a problem when trying to configure your Symbol LS2208 barcode scanners?

I have gone through the Quick Start guide for the LS2208, and then enabled Codabar (Any Length).

When I scan the barcode I get an "a" at the beginning of the barcode and a "b" at the end of the barcode.  If I enable Codabar (One Discrete Length), setting the discrete length to 14, the barcode doesn't read at all.

Any ideas?
