ASP Portable Barcode Reader
11
05
Sets output options, such as delays after characters and carriage returns,
prefix and suffix characters, the "end of file" character, and allows the
setting of a delay between consecutive scans.
Character and carriage return delays can be used to optimise the output
from Function 11 to suit your computer and software. Character delays are
in thousandths of a second and can be set to 0 to 255 (ie 0 to .255 secs), and
the carriage return delay is in tenths of a second, and can be set to 0 to 255
(ie 0 to 25.5 secs). Unless needed by your software, set these delays to
zero.
Prefix and/or Suffix strings can be defined, containing from 1 to 4
characters, which will be added to the start or end (respectively) of any
barcode scan. Prefix and Suffix strings are not normally required, and the
facility may be turned off by setting the Prefix and/or Suffix to 0. Multiple
characters can be entered by separating them with a comma or a space - see
the
ASCII Character Code Chart
on page 18 for a list of character codes.
An End-of-file string, containing from 1 to 4 characters, can be defined, and
is output at the end of a
Function 11
download. If set to zero, the string
"
EOF
" will be sent; if set to 255, no end-of-file indication will be output.
The Scan Delay, which is set in tenths of a second, and can be set to 0 to
255 (ie 0 to 25.5 secs), can be used with gun scanners, to make it less likely
that the same barcode is accidentally scanned twice.
In special circumstances, the Keyboard Delay can be used to overcome
keyboard output problems. The Keyboard Delay is set in thousandths of a
second and can be set from 0 to 255 (ie 0 to .255 secs). In most situations,
this delay should be set to 0.
08
Sets configuration to "factory defaults" (AT output, UPC/EAN and Code 39
codes accepted).
09
Sets or clears a password that is used to restrict access to these functions. If
you forget the password you have set using this facility, you will not have
access to the above functions. If this happens, you should contact ASP or
your dealer, who will lead you through a complicated set of steps that will
allow the forgotten password to be determined.
10
Displays amount of storage memory used and amount still available.
11
Transmits all stored barcode reads (block download).
12
Transmits stored barcode reads to computer one at a time when the
ENTER
key is pressed (useful when downloading using keyboard emulation).
13
Rewinds memory (used after
Function 12
to get back to the first stored
read again).
