5. Scan the Return To Factory Defaults programming barcode from the DS2278 Digital Scanner Quick Start Guide. The Factory Default parameter removes any custom configurations on the scanner!)
- When scanning a programming barcode from a screen/monitor, increase magnification to a minimum of 125%. This will ensure good barcode quality for a successful scan.
6. To pair the digital scanner with the cradle, insert the digital scanner in the cradle or scan the pairing barcode. See Pairing Methods.
- A high/low/high/low beep sequence indicates that the pairing barcode was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and digital scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds.
7. To test sending a barcode, open a text document in an application such as Microsoft Word or Notepad.
- Ensure that you can type into the text document using your keyboard.
- Scan a product barcode.
8. The scanned barcode will be displayed in the text document.
