Configuring the Terminal by Scanning Bar Codes
You can configure the terminal by scanning bar code labels listed in this manual or by

volume to a quiet audio level:

set the terminal to automatically shut off after a specified length of time.
set the terminal to resume applications or restart applications.
modify bar code data by appending the time.
modify bar code data by using a preamble and postamble.

enable or disable the keypad clicker and keypad caps lock.
customize the way the scanner connected to the 246X operates by selecting scan
