2D Global Features
The following features are common to all, or in some cases, most of the available 2D
symbologies. Default settings are indicated at each feature/option with a green arrow. Also
reference Appendix C, Standard Defaults for a listing of the most widely used set of standard
factory settings. That section also provides space to record any custom settings needed or
implemented for your sy
stem.
To set most features:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar code at the top of applicable pr
ogram-
ming pages.
2. Scan the correct bar code to set the desired programming feature or parameter. You may
need to cove
r unused bar codes on the page, and possibly the facing page, to ensure that
the reader reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. If additional input parameters are needed, go to Appendix E, Keypad, and scan the appro-
priate characters from the keypad.
Additional information about many features can be found in the “Refer-
ences” chapter.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code
to ab
ort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.
Complete the programming sequence by scanning the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING bar
code to exit Programming Mode.
