Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming barcodes for selecting these
features. Before programming, follow the instructions in <em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Chapter 1, Getting
Started.
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 digital scanner powers down.
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, see <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Default Parameters on page 6-5.
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 transmit barcode data
without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit barcode under
<bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 14-226. The digital scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several barcodes. See the
individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct
parameter.
note Most computer monitors allow scanning the 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.
