Reading Techniques
The Granit 1280i scanner has a bright red scanning line that corresponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view.
The scanning line is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies
with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size)
should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an
appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the scanning line on the symbol. If the code being scanned is
highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
Cyber Security Settings
Honeywell scanners have additional settings aimed at preventing cyber attacks. You may want to restrict the ability to program
your device with menu codes or serial commands, or you may want to disable firmware upgrades to your device. Honeywell’s
Cyber Security settings allow you to secure your device by restricting these features. Please contact the nearest technical sup-
port office (see Technical Assistance on page 11-1) for further information.
Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults
bar code below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric
codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have
entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite
the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide
you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High
menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be
updated.
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is
the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom
defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom
defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.
