Synchronization of Settings
Host Requested Setting Changes
The IBM 4683, IBM Hand-held, and USB hosts can change a limited set of the scanner's settings. The
123Scan²
host maintains all the scanner settings. When an auxiliary scanner is connected, all setting changes
the host requests are processed by both the DS7708 and the auxiliary scanner. Only a limited set of auxiliary
scanner settings are updated, including code type enable/disable, code type lengths, beeper settings,
redundancy, and security level settings.
For example, if the IBM 4683 host requests to disable the Cod
e 39 symbolo
gy, then Code 39 is disabled on
both the DS7708 and the auxiliary scanner.
Bar Code Menu Symbols Scanned on the DS7708
A limited set of bar code menu symbols scanned on the DS7708 are synchronized with the auxiliary scanner (if
attached). These settings are code type enable/disable, code type lengths, beeper settings, redundancy, and
security level settings.
Bar Code Menu Symbols Scanned on the Hand-held Scanner
By default, the auxiliary scanner can program the DS7708 settings (primary only mode).
The auxiliary programming mode setting All Scanners Mode allows
programming both the auxiliary scanner
and the DS7708 simultaneously. In this mode, scanning Set Defaults returns the DS7708 to the default mode.
Another setting isolates the auxiliary scanner so that the
bar code menu symbols scanned apply only to the
auxiliary scanner. To return to the default functionality change the setting on the DS7708 directly.
Regardless of the auxiliary scanner mode, all parameter changes
requested by the host and via bar code
menu settings on the DS7708 are synchronized on the auxiliary scanner for applicable settings.
