Motorola DS9208 Product Reference Guide

CHAPTER 4 USER PREFERENCES &
MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS
Introduction
You can program the digital scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter
describes each user preference feature and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard
Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements,
programming is not necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in
non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the digital scanner is powered down.
If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the
power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4. Throughout the
programming bar code menus, asterisks indicate (
*) default values.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen (when using the imaging
engine). When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you
can see the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
