CHAPTER 4 USER PREFERENCES &
MISCELLANEOUS
OPTIONS
Introduction
You can program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
user preference features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default
Parameters for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the scanner powers down.
If not using the default host, select the host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the
power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks indicate (
*) default values.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars
and/or spaces do not merge.
