Introduction
If desired, program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user
preference
feature
and
provides
the
programming
bar
codes
necessary
for
selecting
these
features.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-4 (also see Appendix A,
Standard
Default
Parameters
for
all
host
device
and
miscellaneous
defaults).
If
the
default
values
suit
requirements,
programming
may
not
be
necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory
and
are
preserved
even
when
the
scanner
is
powered
down.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the
power-up
beeps
sound.
This
is
only
necessary
upon
the
first
power-up
when
connected
to
a
new
host.
To return all features to their default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5 . Throughout the programming bar
code
menus,
default values are indicated with asterisks (

).

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
4-6
.
The
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, when an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the
correct
parameter.
