Symbol Technologies DS 3408 User Manual

11-7

The Scanner Emulation host can process parameter bar code messages and send them to the attached decoder. In this way, customers 
using Symbol compliant decoders can control the behavior of the entire system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. 

For example, to enable D 2 of 5, scan the D 2 of 5 Enable parameter bar code. The digital scanner and the attached decoder both 
process the parameter.

The digital scanner supports a variety of code types that are not decodable by attached decoder systems. To allow compatibility in 
these environments, the digital scanner converts these code types to more commonly decodable symbologies, as per the following 
chart. Symbologies not listed on this chart are transmitted normally.

When decoding these code types with this parameter disabled, the digital scanner issues Convert Error beeps and transmits no data.
