CHAPTER 6 USER PREFERENCES

Introduction

This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for

selecting these features.

Host Selection

The default serial host is Standard RS-232 with SSI and the default USB host is HID Keyboard Emulation, as

these host types provide more flexibility during integration when configuring the unit via host command.

Selecting other host configurations requires scanning bar code menus and cannot be performed via host

programming. See each host chapter for configuration options for each host type.

Phantom Scan Session

The Phantom Scan Session feature places the system into a known state for two seconds immediately after

the power-up beep sequence in order to decode a parameter bar code without intervention and regardless of

existing settings and mode. This allows you to scan a

Set Defaults

or other parameter bar code without

triggering the imager or initiating a host scan session in order to return an unresponsive system to its factory

default settings. Aim and illumination are turned off and Phantom Scan exits upon a trigger event, host

command, or successful decode.

NOTE

The DS457 automatically switches between USB and serial host interfaces based on the type of cable

attached.

NOTE

Selecting one of the

Serial Host Types on page 9-5

disables SSI support. To restore Standard RS-232 with

SSI support, scan
