Chapter 6 User Preferences

Overview

This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for
selecting these features.

Host Selection

Select a host type according to the pinout information in
default serial host for the Symbol MS4404 is SSI and the default USB host for the Symbol MS4407 is SNAPI with
Imaging, as these host types provide more flexibility during integration when configuring the unit via host
command.
Selecting other host configurations require using bar code menus and are not available via host programming.
These hosts do not support host triggering, and require a method to trigger the reader for initial configuration. Use
caution when selecting one of these hosts. Be sure to consider how setting up via bar code menu, which includes
providing a triggering method, can impact integration. See each host chapter for configuration options for each host
type.

Standard Defaults
programming is not necessary.
There are two ways to change a parameter value:
•
Capture the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory.
•
For SSI and USB SNAPI hosts, send a "parameter send" command from the host system. 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 Guide
for detailed instructions for changing parameter values using this method.
