CHAPTER 4 USER PREFERENCES &

Introduction

This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for
selecting these features.

Host Selection

See Table 2-3 on page 2-10
serial host is SSI and the default USB host is SNAPI with Imaging, as these host types provide more flexibility
during integration when configuring the unit via host command.
Selecting other host configurations require scanning bar code menus and are not available via host
programming. These hosts do not support host triggering, and require a method to trigger the reader for initial
configuration. Use caution when selecting one of these hosts. Be sure to consider how setting up via bar code
menu, which includes providing a triggering method, can impact integration. See each host chapter for
configuration options for each host type.

Phantom Scan Session

The Phantom Scan Session feature places the system into a known state for two seconds immediately after
the power-up beep sequence in order to decode a parameter bar code without intervention and regardless of
existing settings and mode. This allows you to scan a Set Defaults or other parameter bar code without
triggering the decoder or initiating a host scan session in order to return an unresponsive system to its factory
default settings. Aim and illumination are turned off and Phantom Scan exits upon a trigger pull, host
command, or successful decode.
