Chapter 4 User 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 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). Programming may not be
necessary if the default values all requirements.
Features values are set by scanning 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.
If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information). After hearing the
power-up beeps, select a host type. 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 the Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-3. Throughout the
programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
*).
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases it is required to only scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. For example, to set the
beeper tone to high, simply scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page
4-4. The scanner issues a short high beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as specifying Serial Response Time-Out or setting Data Transmission Formats, require
scanning several bar codes. Refer to Host Serial Response Time-out on page 6-24 and Scan Data Transmission
Format on page 10-9 for descriptions of this procedure.
