Chapter 13 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features for
the digital scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The digit al scanner sh ips with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table on p age 13-2 (also see Appendix
A, Standard Default Parameters fo r all host and miscellaneous digital scanner defaults). If the default values suit
requirements, programming is not necessary. Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code
sequences. To return all features to default values, scan Set Default Parameter on page 4-3.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select the host type (see the specific host chapter) after the digital scanner
emits power-up beeps.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan on ly one bar code to set a para meter value. For example, to transmit bar code dat a without the
UPC-A check digit, scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1
Check Digit on page 13-13. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, indicating a
successful parameter entry.
Other parameter s, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes in sequence. See the
parameter description for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, if you make an error during a scanning sequence, re-scan the correct parameter.
