Chapter 9 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes all symbology features 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 Symbology Default Table on page 9-2 (also see Appendix A,
Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit your
requirements, programming may not be necessary. Features values are set by scanning single bar codes or short
bar code sequences.
To return all features to their default values, scan the Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-3.
If using a USB cable, select a host type. Refer to each host chapter for specific host information.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases only scan one bar code to set 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 9-21. 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 the proper sequence.
Refer to the individual parameter, like Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
