Chapter 4 User Preferences
Introduction
If desired, program the scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see Appendix
A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit
requirements, programming may not be necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a sh ort bar code sequence . The settings a re stored in non -volat ile
memory and ar e pres er ve d ev en whe n th e sca nn e r is power ed dow n.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after
the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-3. Throu ghout the programming ba r
code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one b ar code set s th e p arame ter value. For example, to set the bee per tone to high, scan
the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-4. The scanner issues a fast
warble beep and th e LED turn s gr ee n, sign ifyin g a suc ce ssful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response T ime -Out or Dat a Transmission Formats , require scanning sever al
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
parameter.
