Motorola DS3478 User Manual

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

The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the 

 (also see 

 for all host 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 powers down.

The digital scanner communicates with the host through the digital scanner cradle. During setup, the digital 
scanner is paired with a cradle, which connects to the host through one of several interfaces (see 

 and the applicable host interface chapter). Each cradle can pair with up to four digital scanners.

If not using a Synapse or 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 connecting to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan the 

. Throughout the programming 

bar code menus, asterisks (

) indicate default values.

Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the digital scanner may not recognize the 
new host.
