Chapter 12 Symbologies
Introduction
This chapter describes all symbology features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features
for the Symbol LS2208 scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The scanner ships with the settings in the Symbology Default Table on page 12-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard
Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements,
programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan single bar codes or short bar code sequences.
To return all features to default values, scan Set All Defaults on page 4-3.
If you are not using a Synapse or USB cable, you must select a host type. See each host chapter for specific host
information.
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without
the UPC-A check digit, scan the
Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit
UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1 Check Digit on page 12-13. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns
green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes in sequence. See the
individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
