2D Global Features
The following features are common to all, or in some cases, most of the available 2D symbolo-
gies. 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 factory set
-
tings. That section also provides space to record any custom settings needed or implemented 
for yo
ur system.
To set most features:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar code at the top of applic
able programming 
pages.
2. Scan the correct bar code to set the desired 
pr
ogramming feature or parameter. You may 
need to cover unused bar codes 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 paramete
rs are needed, go to Appendix D, Keypad, and scan the appro-
priate characters from the keypad.
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 
abo
rt and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
Complete the programming sequence by scanning the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar code to 
exit Programming Mode.
