Chapter 14 Miscellaneous Scanner Options
Introduction
This chapter includes features frequently used to customize how data transmits to the host device. See Chapter
15, Advanced Data Formatting for further customization options.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Miscellaneous Scanner Options Default Table on page
14-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults).
If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
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 you power down the digital scanner.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a 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, scan *Set Defaults on page 4-4. Throughout the programming bar code
menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. Other parameters, such as Prefix Value,
require scanning several bar codes. See each parameter for descriptions of this procedure.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the 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, and bars
and/or spaces are not merging.
