Chapter 4
Programming the Scanner

Introduction

You have the option to program the LS1900 Series scanner to perform various functions,
or activate different features. This chapter describes each feature and provides the
programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features for your scanner. Before
programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
Your scanner is shipped with the settings shown in the Default Table on page 4-3. These
default values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner
is powered down. If the default values suit your requirements, no programming is
necessary. Features other than default values are set by scanning single bar codes or short
bar code sequences.
Even if the default parameters suit your needs, if you are not using a Synapse cable you
must select a host type. After you hear the power-up beeps, select a host type beginning
on page 4-21. This only needs to be done once, upon the first power-up when connected
to a new host.
To return all features (except Host Type) to their default values, all you need to do is scan
the Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-10. Throughout the programming bar code menus,

default values are indicated with asterisks ( ).
