Serial Host Parameters
Various serial hosts are set up with their own parameter default settings (Table 9-2). Selecting standard, ICL,
Fujitsu, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode A, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, OPOS/JPOS, Olivetti, or Omron sets the defaults listed
below.
Selecting ICL, Fujitsu, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode A, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, OPOS/JPOS, Olivetti, or Omron enables
the transmission of code ID characters listed in Table 9-3. These code ID characters are not programmable and
are separate from the Transmit Code ID feature. Do not enable the Transmit Code ID feature for these terminals.

*In the Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is Low, imaging is disabled. When CTS is High, you can capture bar codes.
**If you select Nixdorf Mode B and the imager is not connected to the proper host, it may appear unable to
decode. If this happens, select a different serial host type within 5 seconds of cycling power to the imager.
