Using the Menu

The BCD996T incorporates an effective menu system that lets you make all the necessary setting options required to program the scanner and effectively use the many features. To use the menu, press [MENU].

You immediately see the screen display the menu title at the top and three of ten menu options beneath. Using the Multifunction Scroll Control, you can rotate the control left or right to quickly review all ten listings.

The depth of each menu selection is extensive. For the purpose of this manual, the following chart indicates the primary menu selection, the purpose of that selection, and a reference to the page or pages that provide the details associated with the option.
