RS-232 Word Length Selection

This selection allows you to set the RS-232 word length at seven or eight bits of data per character. The number of start and stop bits is fixed at one each. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications requiring use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character.

Parity Selection

This selection provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. The scanner can be configured to operate under Even, Odd, Mark / None, or Space parity options. The host terminal must be set up for the same parity as the scanner, to ensure reliable communication.
