Omnitron Systems Technology RS-232 Default Settings, Serial Interface Parameters Group E

Default Settings

The Omni reader is shipped from the factory with the default settings already programmed. In the following sections, the default settings are shown in boldface. For a list of all default settings, please see Appendix A.

By default, the reader has been programmed with the least restricted settings, thus making the Omni reader able to read most bar code labels and standard format magnetic stripe cards out of box.

The reader’s output data format can be reconfigured to meet the expectations of the host application.

To reset the reader to the factory default, follow these steps:

1.On an AT-compatible computer, enter any communication program. (Hyper Terminal is recommend in the Windows environment.)

2.Turn on the CAPS LOCK feature on the keyboard, as the configuration code is case sensitive.

3.Enter the GROUP SETUP MODE by typing /E/D/FA.

4.Press the <Enter> key. The reader will beep twice.

5.Type AW.

6.Press the <Enter> key. The reader will beep twice.

7.Type AZ.

8.Press the <Enter> key. The reader will sound four beeps.

Note: To check the firmware version, type AY <ENTER> before AZ <ENTER>.
