The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the unit. To read a single bar code or multiple bar codes (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the bar code.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Contact Technical Support (seeCustomer Support on page 12-1)for further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before each menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set Custom Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom defaults.

Set Custom Defaults

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.
