Serial Programming Commands

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the IT2020-5. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.

The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-15). The following commands can be sent via a PC com port using terminal emulation software.

Conventions

The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:

parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.

[option]	An optional part of a command.
{Data}	Alternatives in a command.
bold	Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and
	windows that appear on the screen.

Menu Command Syntax

Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity only):

Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage

Prefix	Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name:	To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to
	host): :IT5620: The default factory setting for an IT5620 scanner
	is IT5620. This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM com-
	mand, which accepts alphanumeric values. If the name is not
	known, a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.

Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and not to the scanner.

Tag	A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
	command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings
	are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag	A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
	command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
	RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
