Chapter 4User Preferences
Introduction
The scanner can be programmed 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 for the scanner. Before
programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard
Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults).
To set feature values scan single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are
preserved even when the scanner is powered down. Scanning parameter setting bar codes with the primary scanner also
changes settings on the auxiliary scanner.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see the host chapter) after the power-up beeps. This only needs to be
done once upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3. Throughout the programming bar code menus,
asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases scanning only one bar code sets a specific 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 4-3. The scanner issues a short high beep and the LED
turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or setting Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes.
See Host Serial Response Time-out on page 6-26 and Scan Data Options on page 14-6 for descriptions of this procedure.
