Explanation
Most barcode scanners are configured by scanning special programming barcodes printed in the manufacturer's configuration guide or setup sheet. These barcodes encode settings such as communication protocol, baud rate, data prefix/suffix, symbology enable/disable, and other parameters. This scan-to-configure method is the standard approach across brands (Honeywell, Zebra, Symbol, etc.). It requires no software installation or rebooting - the scanner reads the configuration barcode and immediately updates its internal settings.
