General Features

User Preferences

User preferences for the general features listed in this chapter can be selected using the programming bar codes that accompany each feature description. To set feature values, scan a single programming bar code or a short bar code sequence as instructed for each feature. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.

Typically, a scanner ships with the settings shown in User General Feature Defaults on page 20 (also see Appendix B, Standard Defaults for all host defaults). If the de- fault values suit requirements, programming may not be necessary.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host infor- mation) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connecting to a new host.

To return all features to their default values, reference the topic, Return to Factory De- faults. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

* Indicates Default *High Frequency Feature/Option

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 on page 19. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful param- eter entry.

Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, re- quire the scanning of a sequence of bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, when an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re- scan the correct feature bar code(s).
