User Preferences 4-3

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 4-4 (also see Appendix A,
Standard Default Parameters
for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit 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 4-5. 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 4-6. 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.
