RS-232 Parameters – 1
The RS-232 Parameters 1 programming mode contains four of the parameters required for RS-232 communications. From this programming mode you can select the Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Character Length, and Handshake Options.
Defaults

Baud Rate | 9600 |
| |
Parity | Odd |
| |
Stop Bits and Character Length | 1 Stop Bit, |
| 7-Bit Character |

Specific Program Parameters
Baud Rate
The Baud Rate parameter contains seven selections: 300 Baud, 600 Baud, 1200 Baud, 2400 Baud, 4800 Baud, 9600 Baud, and
19200 Baud. Scan the appropriate Hex 0 through Hex 6 tag to set the desired Baud rate. The default is 9600 Baud.
Parity
The Parity parameter contains three selections: Odd, Even, and None. For 7-bit characters, bit 8 is the parity bit; for 8-bit characters, bit 9 is the parity bit. Choosing no parity and 7-bit character length causes the scanner/scale to send two stop bits; the scanner/scale must also receive two stop bits. Scan the appropriate Hex 0, Hex 1, or Hex 4 tag to select the desired Parity. The default is Odd.
