CHAPTER 5 RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS
Introduction
This chapter provides information about the modes of operation and features available for wireless communication
between the DS3678 cordless digital scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters
necessary to configure the digital scanner.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Radio Communication Default Table on page 5-2 (also see
Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and digital scanner defaults). If the default values suit
requirements, programming is not necessary.
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 is powered down.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable with the cradle, 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 a default barcode in Default Parameters on page 6-5. Throughout the
programming barcode menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
*).
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan one barcode to set a specific parameter value.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
