Introduction

This chapter describes all symbology features and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features for the
Symbol LS7708 scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in
*
code menus, asterisks ( ) indicate default values.
The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in
requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan single bar codes or short bar code sequences. Scanning
parameter setting bar codes with the primary scanner also changes settings on the auxiliary scanner.
To return all features to their default values, scan the
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type. Refer to each host chapter for specific host information.

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases scanning one bar code sets a specific parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the
UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code listed under
Check Digit on page 13-23. The scanner issues a short high beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes in sequence. See the individual parameter,
like Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

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

Symbology Default Parameters

Table 13-1 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in this
chapter.
Scanning parameter setting bar codes with the primary scanner also changes settings on the auxiliary scanner.
