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 barcodes for selecting these features.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 8 on page 57 (also see Parameter Defaults for all defaults). If
the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single barcode or a short barcode 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 59. Throughout the programming barcode
menus, asterisks indicate (
*) default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one barcode sets the parameter value. For example, to set the speaker tone to high, scan
the High Frequency (beep tone) barcode listed under Beep Tone on page 62. The scanner issues a fast warble
beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters require scanning several barcodes. See the parameter descriptions for this procedure.
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and bars and/or
spaces do not merge.
