ACK NAK Options
This enables/disables the ability of the scanner to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK proto-
col. When configured, the scanner and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data
properly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error.
Options are:
• Disable
• Enable for label transmission — The scanner expects an ACK/NAK response from
the host when a label is sent
• Enable for host-command acknowledge — The scanner will respond with ACK/
NAK when the host sends a command
• Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge
ACK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK character.
ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
1. Determine the desired character or value.
2. Use the ASCII Chart on
page 288
to find the hex equivalent for the desired charac-
ter/value.
3. Scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT ACK CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alphanumeric characters from the keypad in
Appendix D
,
that represent the desired character/value determined above. The second charac-
ter will cause a two-beep indication.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit.
See the table below for examples of how to set this feature.
Table 6 - ACK Character Setting Examples
NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host
commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data
is not recognized when the option Data Bits
page 43
has been set as 7 Data
Bits.
