2D Global Features
The following features are common to all, or in some cases, most of the available 
2D symbologies. Default settings are indicated at each feature/option with a 
green arrow. Also reference 
Appendix B, Standard Defaults for a listing of the 
most widely used set of standard facto
ry settings. That section also provides 
space to record any custom settings needed or implemented for your system.
To set most features:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar c
ode at the top of applicable pro-
gramming pages.
2. Scan the correct bar code to set the desired program
ming feature or parame-
ter. You may need to cover unused bar co
des on the page, and possibly the 
facing page, to ensure that the reader reads only the bar code you intend to 
scan.
3. If additional input parame
ters are needed, go to 
Appendix D, Keypad, and 
scan the appropriate characters from
 the keypad.
NOTE
Additional information about many features can 
be found in the “References” chapter. 
If you make a mistake before the last character, 
scan the CANCEL bar code to abort and not save 
the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
Complete the programming sequence by scanning the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAM-
MING bar code to exit Programming Mode.
