Serial Configuration
The IS4920 series can be configured by scanning configuration bar codes† or by serial commands sent from the host device. With serial configuration, each command sent to the engine is the ASCII representation of each numeral in the configuration bar code (see Figure 19). The entire numeric string is framed with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].

All the settings chosen in the failed serial configuration session will be lost. There is a
To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command, [stx]999999[etx]. The engine will not scan bar codes while in serial configuration mode.

1 stop bit, 8 data bits, and no flow control. If a command is sent to the engine to change any of these settings, the change will not take effect until after serial configuration mode is exited.
