Chapter 4 User Preferences
Introduction
The scanner can be programed 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 for
the scanner.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-2 (also see Appendix
A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit
the requirements, programming may not be necessary.
Feature values are set by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The settings are stored in
non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
If a Synapse or USB cable is not being used, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host
information). After hearing the power-up beeps, select a host type. This only needs to be done once, upon the first
power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3 . Throughout the programming bar
code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

).
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, only one bar code needs to be scanned to set a specific parameter value. For example, to set the
beeper tone to high, simply scan the
High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page
4-3 . The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as specifying Laser On Time or setting Data Transmission Formats , require that several
bar codes be scanned. See Laser On Time on page 4-5 and Scan Data Transmission Format on page 13-5 for
descriptions of this procedure.
