4 - 2 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan 
the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-7. The digital scanner issues a 
fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several 
bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
User Preferences/Miscellaneous Options Parameter Defaults
Table 4-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. To change the default values, scan the appropriate bar 
codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default 
parameter values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-5.
NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and 
miscellaneous default parameters.
