Introduction
This chapter describes all symbology features and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features
for the LS7708 scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started. Throughout the programming
bar code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters. If the default values suit the
requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan single bar codes or short bar code sequences. Scanning
parameter setting bar codes with the primary scanner also changes settings on the auxiliary scanner.
To return all features to their default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type. See each host chapter for specific host information.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases scanning one bar code sets a specific parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the
UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code listed under Transmit UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1
Check Digit on page 13-20. The scanner issues a short high beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes in 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 occurs during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
Symbology Default Parameters
Table 13-17 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in
this chapter.
Scanning parameter setting bar codes with the primary scanner also changes settings on the auxiliary scanner.
See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies and miscellaneous
default parameters
