Chapter 12 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes all symbology features and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting
these features for the scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The scanner is shipped 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 may not be necessary. Features values are set by scanning single bar codes or
short bar code sequences.
To return all features to their default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3.
If a Synapse or USB cable is not being used, a host type must be selected. See each host chapter for specific host
information.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, only one bar code needs to be scanned to set a specific 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 listed 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 that several bar codes be scanned in the proper
sequence. See the individual parameter, like Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
