Scanner Commands
To perform certain special tasks, you sometimes will use Command Prompt commands to
communicate with the device instead of having your scanner read a sequence of setup
barcodes listed in the manual. In the case like this, you possibly need to rely on escape
characters, no matter predefined or customized, to notify the decoder of the additional
interpretation on the text following prefixed escape characters. The below configurable
parameters allow you to define your own escape characters while you work with a terminal
program to send out command strings to the scanner.

Set <DLE> Escape Character
The parameter serves to avoid the reserved characters from being interpreted using their
originally defined meanings. The special characters thus will be treated as the normal ones
once preceded with DLE escape character. Associate the user-defined parameter with the
value of the reserved character you intend to escape to complete the configuration.
