Abstract

The invention concerns a process for the parameterization of scanners for printed codes, in which in a preliminary phase a coding symbology is selected, in which character strings representing parameterization commands and parameters assigned to said commands are defined, these character strings are stored and a display menu of various suggested options is established for each command and; various parameter values. Furthermore, according to this process, at the time of the parameterization of a scanner, after selection of the various commands and parameters, the selected character strings are reassembled into at least one sequence of character strings of a length at the most equal to that of the scanning range of the scanners, each of said sequences is converted to obtain the corresponding graphical symbol, and each of these symbols is read by means of the scanners.
