Parameters Selection Guidelines
Three basic steps must be followed when selecting parameters for
your scanner.
1. Review this manual to be sure you understand the
terminology.
2. Review the requirements of your host system, with a techni-
cal expert from your company, if necessary. This will enable
you to determine if any of the factory default settings must
be altered.
3. Enable or disable the relevant parameters by scanning the
appropriate menus. This operation is described in more
detail in the following example.

Examples

Assume that the beeper volume is too loud at its default setting. To
change the beeper volume from its default value of loud to a setting
of low, locate the beeper volume bar code menu in the General
Parameters section. Then scan the label to the left of Beeper On, Vol-
ume Low. The correct label is reproduced below.
AB Beeper On; Volume Low
A successful scan is indicated by two short-high beeps. An unsuc-
cessful scan produces no beeps and requires you to rescan the Beeper
On; Volume Low bar code.
Most parameters are modified in this way, and you may resume nor-
mal bar code scanning when no further modifications are desired.
Some parameters require multiple scans to modify a setting; for
example, Intercharacter Delay. If you wish to set this parameter to 5
milliseconds (msec.):
NOTE
When enabling or disabling a parameter, be sure the scanner
beam illuminates only one bar code symbol at a time. The
layout of this manual minimizes accidental multiple-label
scanning.
