Chapter 4 User Preferences

Introduction

If desired, program the scanner 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.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see
A, Standard Default Parameters
requirements, programming may not be necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after
the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-3. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan
the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-4. The scanner issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several
bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

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