CHAPTER 7 USER PREFERENCES &
MISCELLANEOUS SCANNER
OPTIONS
Introduction
If desired, configure the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter
describes imaging preference features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.
The scanner ships with the settings in User Preferences Default Parameters on page 7-2 (also see
Appendix A,
STANDARD DEFAULT PARAMETERS
for all host device and miscellaneous 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 scanner.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Defaults on page 7-4. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high,
scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code under Beeper Tone on page 7-9. The scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as specifying Serial Response Time-Out or setting Data Transmission Formats,
require scanning several bar codes. See Decode Session Timeout on page 7-18 and Scan Data Transmission
Format on page 7-22 for descriptions of this procedure.
