RS-232 ACK Character
This feature specifies which ASCII character will be used as an ACK char-
acter.
To specify the RS-232 ACK Character:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan the bar code, SET RS-232 ACK CHARACTER below. You’ll
need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to
ensure the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in Appendix C that rep-
resent the hex designation for the desired character. A table contain-
ing the ASCII Character Set and their corresponding Hex Values is
available in the inside back cover of this manual. ASCII parameters
must be input by scanning a pair of hexadecimal digits for the
desired character. For example, if ASCII “A” were the desired ACK
character, you would scan the digits “4”, then “1” (the ASCII corre-
sponding hex value).
4. The scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the
appropriate amount of digits/characters have been scanned.

NOTE
DO NOT set this feature to use previously defined characters such as XON,
XOFF or host commands as this will conflict with normal operation of these
characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the feature, RS-232 Number of
Data Bits, is set to 7 data bits.
