11 - 2 LS7708 Scanner Product Reference Guide
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors may be different from the examples
illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same. See Chapter 1, Getting Started for
connection information.
When the hand-held laser scanner is connected to the Scanner port of the primary scanner, the hand-held scanner auto-
configures and inherits some of the primary scanner’s decode parameters. Any changes to the primary scanner’s settings are
automatically reflected back to the hand-held scanner. Programming bar codes are provided to:
• program only the hand-held laser scanner
• program only the LS7708
• program both scanners simultaneously.
Some hand-held scanners do not support these programming modes. Parameter bar codes affect only these scanners, not the
primary scanner, regardless of the programming mode selected.
When this type of hand-held scanner is connected, program the primary scanner by scanning parameter bar codes with the
primary scanner.
To determine the type of hand-held scanner used, plug the scanner into the Scanner port. Using the hand-held scanner, scan a
parameter bar code. If the primary scanner issues a warble beep, the hand-held scanner supports the programming modes. If the
hand-held scanner issues a warble beep, it does not support these modes.
Hand-Held Laser Scanner Default Parameters
Table 11-16 lists the defaults for Hand-Held Laser Scanner Port parameters. To change any option, using the primary scanner
only, scan the appropriate bar code(s) beginning in Hand-Held Laser Scanner Options on page 11-3.
