RS-232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity

Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an applica- tion requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which require use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.

Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.

Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. Default = None.

7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even

7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None

7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Odd

7 Data, 2 Stop, Parity Even

7 Data, 2 Stop Parity None

7 Data, 2 Stop, Parity Odd

8 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even

* 8 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None

8 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Odd

RS-232 Handshaking

RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the image scan- ner using software commands from the host device. CTS/RTS operates in mode 2. When this feature is turned Off, no data flow control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device suspends transmission by sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the image scanner. To resume
