Symbol Technologies DS 3408 User Manual

14-3

This chapter includes commonly used bar codes to customize how data is transmitted to the host device. See 

 for further customization options.

The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the 

 for all host device and miscellaneous scanner 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.

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.

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 connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan the 

 bar code on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, 

default values are indicated with asterisks (

).

In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. Other parameters, such as Prefix Value, require scanning several 
bar codes. See each parameter for descriptions of this procedure.

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