Chapter 12 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features
for the scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The scanner is shipp ed with th e set tin gs shown in the Symbology Default Table on page 12-2 (also see Appendix
A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous 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 value s, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select the host type (see the specific host chapter) after the scanner emit s
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. The 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 an error is made during a scanning sequ ence, re-scan the correct parameter.
