2D SYMBOLOGIES
The reader supports the following 2D symbologies (barcode types). Symbology-dependent
options for each symbology are included in this chapter. See "1D Code Selection" starting
on page 65
for configuration of 1D barcodes.
2D Global Features
The following features are common to all, or in some cases, most of the available 2D
symbologies. Default settings are indicated at each feature/option with a green arrow. Also
reference Appendix B, Standard Defaults for a listing of the most widely used set of
standard factory settings. That section also provides space to
record any custom settings
needed or implemented for your system.
To set most features:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING barcode at the top of applicable program-
ming pages.
2. Scan the correct barcode to set the desired
programming feature or parameter. You
may need to cover unused barcodes on the page, and possibly the facing page, to
ensure that the reader reads only the barcode you intend to scan.
3. If additional input parameters are needed, go t
o Appendix D, Keypad, and scan the
appropriate characters from the keypad.
Complete the programming sequence by sca
nning the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING
barcode to exit Programming Mode.
