Datalogic Scanning 8500 RS-232Number of Data Bits

RS-232 Number of Data Bits

Specifies number of data bits required for sending and receiving data.

To set this feature:

1.Scan the SWITCH bar code.

2.Scan the bar code below representing the desired Data Bit setting. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

3.Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.

RS-232 NUMBER OF DATA BITS = 7

RS-232 NUMBER OF DATA BITS = 8

Most scanner programming falls within three general categories: General Scanner and Scale Features Interface Related Features make interface selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED Programming Overview What Is Programming Mode Entering and Exiting Programming Mode Programming Session A typical programming session is conducted as follows: interface will be implemented such a session The scanner will exit Programming Mode under the following conditions: —the programming sequence has been completed or the SWITCH bar code is scanned Programming Sequence the factory default for that interface type.) 1.Place the scanner in Programming Mode (SWITCH bar code) 2.Scan the Item Tag1 that will enable the new feature 3.End the programming session and reset the scanner (SWITCH bar code)
