Chapter 13 Symbologies

Introduction

This chapter describes symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features for
the digital scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in

Chapter 1, Getting Started

.

The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the

Symbology Default Table on page 13-2

(also see

Appendix

A, Standard Default Parameters

for all host and miscellaneous digital scanner defaults). If the default values suit

requirements, programming is not necessary. Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code
sequences. To return all features to default values, scan

Set Default Parameter on page 4-3

.

If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select the host type (see the specific host chapter) after the digital scanner
emits power-up beeps.

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the
UPC-A check digit, scan the

Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit

bar code under

Transmit UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1

Check Digit on page 13-13

. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, indicating 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
parameter description for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

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