CHAPTER 4 RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS
Introduction
This chapter provides information about the modes of operation and features available for wireless communication
between the DS8178 cordless digital scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters
necessary to configure the digital scanner.
The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Radio Communication Default Table on page 4-2 (also see
Appendix A, Standard Parameter Defaults for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is
not necessary.
Setting Parameters
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.
If not using the default host, select the 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 a bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-5. Throughout the
programming bar code menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
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.
