RS-232/USB-Com Interfaces

Enable Character

Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.

NOTE

Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the option Data Bits has been set as 7

Data Bits.

To set this feature:

Determine the desired character or value. A setting of 0xFF indicates the the Enable Character is not used (not available).

1.Determine the desired character or value.

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 ENABLE 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 2 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 13 for some examples of how to set this feature.
