Configuring BSCI Devices 8-11

BSC Interactive Configuration
Transparent Text Support
If Yes is selected, then all transmitted characters, including control character
sequences, are treated as data. This parameter is useful for transmitting binary
data and machine language computer programs without special coding.
Data-link control character sequences transmitted this way must be preceded by a
Data Link Escape (DLE) character (a value of 10 in hex) in order to be recognized
as control characters.
The default value for this parameter is No.
Printer Attached
If Yes is selected, the device has an attached printer; if No, it does not. The default
value for this parameter is No.
