Selecting Beeper Volume using Trigger

The digital scanner emits a short beep when it successfully reads a bar code. To change the volume of the beep either scan the appropriate bar code in Beeper Volume on page 4-7, or use the trigger as follows:

1. Press and hold the trigger for an extended period of time (5 seconds by default - see Volume Adjustment

Trigger Timeout on page 4-8 to change this). The digital scanner cycles through three settings (High,

Medium, Low) emitting a 2-beep tone at each setting.

2. To select a particular setting, release the trigger after you hear the desired 2-beep tone.

LED Definitions

In addition to beep sequences, the digital scanner uses a two-color LED to indicate status. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning.

After a programmable time period (see Momentary Trigger Mode Timeout on page 4-16), the aiming dot turns

off and the digital scanner returns to presentation mode, ready to read bar codes without use of the trigger. For

beeper definitions, see Table 2-1.

Aiming in Momentary Trigger Mode

When scanning, the digital scanner projects a red aiming dot which allows positioning the bar code within its

field of view. See Decode Ranges on page 2-8 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital scanner

and a symbol.

Figure 2-5

Imager Aiming Dot

If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target symbol.

To scan a symbol, center the aiming dot on the symbol, in any orientation.

Figure 2-6

Scanning Orientation with Imager Aiming Dot

The digital scanner can also decode with the aiming dot on a symbol but not centered. The top examples in

Figure 2-7 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples may not be decoded.

Figure 2-7

Acceptable and Incorrect Aiming

The aiming dot is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the

symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with

larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.

The digital scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the symbol. For more information on beeper

and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

Feature/Option

* Indicates Default

Option Hex Value

MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS

Introduction

You can program the digital scanner 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 digital scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (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 scanner is powered down.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen (when using the imaging

engine). 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.

If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the

power-up beeps sound. 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, asterisks indicate (

*) default values.

4 - 2 DS9208-1D Product Reference Guide

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-6. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Serial Response Timeout 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 4-1 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, scan the Set Default Parameter on page 4-4.

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

miscellaneous default parameters.
