Configuring the Scanner
To configure the scanner, use the bar codes in this manual, or use the 123Scan configuration program.
Refer to
Chapter 4, User Preferences
for information about programming the scanner using bar code menus. Refer to
Chapter 12,
123Scan
to configure the scanner using this configuration program. A help file is available in the program.
The scanner supports RS-232, IBM 468X/469X, Keyboard Wedge, USB, and Synapse to interface with a host system. Each host-
specific chapter describes how to set up each of these connections.
Synchronization of Settings
Host Requested Setting Changes
The IBM 4683, IBM Handheld USB, and Synapse hosts can change a limited set of the scanner's settings. The 123Scan host maintains
all the Symbol LS7708 scanner's settings. When a handheld scanner is connected, all setting changes the host requests are
processed by both the LS7708 scanner and the handheld scanner. Only a limited set of handheld scanner settings are updated,
including code type enable/disable, code type lengths, beeper settings, redundancy, and security level settings.
For example, if the IBM 4683 host requests to disable the Code 39 symbology, then Code 39 is disabled on both the LS7708 scanner
and the handheld scanner.
Bar Code Menu Symbols Scanned on the Symbol LS7708 Scanner
A limited set of bar code menu symbols scanned on the Symbol LS7708 scanner are synchronized with the handheld scanner (if
attached). These settings are code type enable/disable, code type lengths, beeper settings, redundancy, and security level settings.
Bar Code Menu Symbols Scanned on the Handheld Scanner
By default, the handheld scanner can program the Symbol LS7708 scanner's settings (primary only mode).
The handheld programming mode setting All Scanners Mode allows programming both the handheld scanner and the Symbol LS7708
scanner simultaneously. In this mode, scanning Set Defaults returns the LS7708 scanner to the default mode.
Another setting isolates the handheld scanner so that the bar code menu symbols scanned apply only to the handheld scanner. To
return to the default functionality change the setting on the Symbol LS7708 scanner directly.
Regardless of the handheld scanner mode, all parameter changes requested by the host and via bar code menu settings on the Symbol
LS7708 scanner are synchronized on the handheld scanner for applicable settings.
