Check Receive Errors

Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received
characters is verified against the parity parameter selected earlier.

Hardware Handshaking

The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking
lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).
Disable Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data as it becomes available. Select Standard RTS/CTS
handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence:
The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to the Host Serial
Response Time-out for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after the Host Serial Response Time-out (default),
the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards any scanned data.
When the CTS line is negated, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to the Host Serial Response
Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, the scanner transmits the data. If, after the
Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error,
and discards the data.
When data transmission is complete, the scanner negates RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.
The host responds by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a negated CTS upon the next transmission of
data.
During data transmission, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between
characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded.
If this communications sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must
be rescanned.
If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes
precedence.
NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.
