User Preferences 4-3

Introduction

The scanner can be programed 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 for the scanner.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page
4-4 (also see Chapter A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous
scanner defaults). If the default values suit the requirements, programming may not be
necessary.
Feature values are set by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The
settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is
powered down.
If the USB cable is not being used, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host
information). After hearing the power-up beeps, select a host type. This only needs to be
done once, upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, scan the Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-
5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks
*
( ).

* High Frequency
Feature/Option
Indicates Default

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, only one bar code needs to be scanned to set a specific parameter value. For
example, to set the beeper tone to high, simply scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar
code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-5. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the
LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as specifying Laser On Time or setting Data Transmission
Formats, require that several bar codes be scanned. See Laser On Time on page 4-7 and
Scan Data Transmission Format on page 9-7 for descriptions of this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the
correct parameter.
