MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS

Introduction

You can program the imager to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes
each user preference feature and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features.

The imager ships with the settings shown in Table 4-2 on page 4-3 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default

Parameters for all imager 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 imager is powered down.

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 you can see the bar code clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.

To return all features to default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks indicate (

*) default values.

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the speaker volume to
low, scan the Low Volume bar code listed under Speaker Volume on page 4-9. The imager issues a fast
warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning
several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences/Miscellaneous Options Parameter Defaults

Table 4-2 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. To change the default values:

•

Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in
memory. To recall the default parameter values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5.

•

Configure the imager using the 123Scan2 configuration program (see 123Scan2 on page 10-1).

NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and

miscellaneous default parameters.

PDF Prioritization

Parameter # 719

Enable this feature to delay decoding a 1D bar code (Code 128) by the value specified in PDF Prioritization

Timeout. During that time the imager attempts to decode a PDF417 symbol (e.g., on a US driver's license), and

if successful, reports this only. If it does not decode (can not find) a PDF417 symbol, it reports the 1D symbol
after the timeout. The 1D symbol must be in the device’s field of view for the imager to report it. This parameter
does not affect decoding other symbologies..

NOTE

The 1D Code 128 bar code lengths include the following:

• 7 to 10 characters

• 14 to 17 characters

• 27 to 28 characters

In addition, a Code 39 bar code with the following lengths are considered to potentially be part of a US driver’s
license:

• 8 characters

• 12 characters
