Chapter 4 User Preferences
Introduction
This chapter descr ib es ea ch use r pr ef er en ce fea tu re and provides programming bar codes for selecting these
features for th e dig ital scanne r.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see
Appendix A, Stan dard Default Parameters for all host and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit the
requirements, programming is not necessary.
Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The settings are stored in
non-volatile memory and are preserved when you power down the digital scanner.
The digital scanner communicates with the host through the digital scanner cradle. During setup, you pair the
digital sca nner with a cradle, which connects to the h ost through one of sever al interfaces (see Pairing on page 1-9
and the applicable host interface chapter). Each cradle can pair with up to four digital scanners.
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. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connecting to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the digital scanner may not recognize the
new host.
