Programming Modes (continued)

EXAMPLE #3: The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the baud rate to 19200.

[ack] or 06h

Exit Program Mode

[stx]999999[etx]

02h 39h

39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h

[ack] or 06h

The scanner will emit a long beep!

This example illustrates two important points.

First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning.

Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate does not take effect until after the end-user exits program mode.
