Simple Serial Interface Default Parameters
This section describes how to set up the decoder with a SSI host. When SSI is used, the decoder is programmed
via bar code menu or SSI hosts commands.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).
Table 8-3 lists the defaults for the SSI host. There are two ways to change the default values:
Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the *Set All Defaults bar code on page 6-3.
Download data through the device’s serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this
chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar
codes. See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer’s Guide for detailed instructions for changing
parameters using this method.
*Baud Rate 9600
(06h) Feature/Option
* Indicates Default
Option Hex Value for programming
via SSI command
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.
NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Defaults for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous
default parameters.
