Abstract

See full text

A novel system and method of programming the function parameters of programmable bar code symbol readers and scanners, while avoiding the need to couple the data communication port of a function parameter computer system and the programmable bar code symbol reader to be configured. In a first illustrative embodiment, the function-encoded parameters of a master bar code symbol reader are determined using a computer-based function-parameter device and subsequently buffered in memory buffer contained therein; the buffered function-encoded parameters are used to produce a list (i.e., ordered set) of function-encoded bar code symbols which are printed in a specified reading-sequence; and the list of printed function-encoded bar code symbols are read in specified reading sequence so as to configure (i.e., program) the bar code symbol reader with same set of function-encoded parameters that were programmed in the master bar code symbol reader.
