RS-232 Parameter - Scanning Control (DTR Signal)

When the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) input is enabled, the scanner will not transmit unless an active (+12V) DTR signal is present on the scanner’s DTR input pin. The scanner can be disabled by making DTR inactive (-12V) at the DTR input pin.

The DTR Scan Disable feature will prevent any scanning when the Enable DTR input feature is chosen. Before enabling the Enable DTR Scan Disable feature, first scan the EN- ABLE DTR INPUT bar code. To turn off this feature, scan the Recall Defaults bar code.
