Chapter 5
Introduction
If desired, program the digital imager scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This
chapter describes imaging preference features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these
features.
The digital imager scanner ships with the settings shown in the Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults on
page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If
the default values suit requirements, programming is not 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 digital imager scanner is powered down.
If not using a USB cable, select a host type after the power-up beeps sound. (See Chapter 6, SSI Interface
Chapter 7, USB Interface and Chapter 8, RS-232 Interface for specific host information.) This is only
necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4. 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 disable the decode aiming
pattern, scan the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern bar code listed under Decode Aiming Pattern on page
4-12. The digital imager scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful
parameter entry.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When
scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code
can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
