Disable Character

Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader.

ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.

To set the value:

1. Determine the desired character or value. A setting of 0xFF indicates the the Disable
Character is not used (not available).
2. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent
for the desired character/value.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT DISABLE CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix E,
Keypad, that represent the desired character/value in step 1 above. The second character
will cause a two-beep indication.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.

This completes the procedure. See Table 12 for some examples of how to set this feature.
