Zebra DS8178 Product Reference Guide

13 - 4 DS8178 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Parameters
This section describes the parameters controlling the IDC firmware and provides programming bar codes for
setting them.
To set parameters requiring a range of values, scan the parameter bar code followed by two, three, or four bar
codes from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes corresponding to the desired value. Scan two numeric bar codes for
parameters with a maximum value of less than 100, for example, IDC Minimum Text Length. IDC Delay Time
requires scanning three digits since the maximum value is 200. Leading zeros are required.
Alternatively, use the sample application to set parameters using the parameter name. The application provides
prompts and error checking to assist in setting the parameters correctly and easily. You must use an application to
set a parameter to a negative value, as the IDC X Coordinate can require.
