5 - 10 DS8108 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Setting Parameters
This section describes how to set up the scanner with an SSI host. When using SSI, program the scanner via bar
code menu or SSI hosts commands.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 5-3 on page 5-11 (also see Appendix A, Standard Parameter
Defaults for all 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 scanner powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan Set Factory Defaults on page 9-5. Throughout the programming bar
code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the baud rate to 19,200, scan
the Baud Rate 19,200 bar code under Baud Rate on page 5-12. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the
LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See the 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.
NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning 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 do not merge.
