Chapter 4 User Preferences
Introduction
You can program the 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 for the scanner.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (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. The settings are stored in
non-volatile memory and are preserved even when you power down the scanner.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, after hearing the power-up beeps, select a host type (see each host chapter
for specific host information). You only need to do this once, upon the first power-up when connecting to a new
host.
To return all features to their default values, see the Set Default Parameter on page 4-3. Throughout the
programming bar code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, you must only scan one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to
high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code under Beeper Tone on page 4-4. The scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as specifying Laser On Time or setting Data Transmission Formats, require scanning
several bar codes. See Laser On Time on page 4-6 and Scan Data Transmission Format on page 13-5 for
descriptions of this procedure.
