Chapter 12 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features for
the scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table on page 12-2 (also see Appendix A,
Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit the
requirements, programming is not necessary. Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code
sequences.
To return all features to their default values, scan Set Factory Defaults on page 4-3.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type. See each host chapter for specific host information.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the
UPC-A check digit, scan the
Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1
Check Digit on page 12-12. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a
successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes in the proper sequence.
See the individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
