Stop Bit Select

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving

device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the

receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.

Data Bits

This parameter allows the digital scanner to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol.

*1 Stop Bit

2 Stop Bits
