Magellan ® 8500 Scanner
RS-232 Hardware Control
Enables/disables use of the RS-232 CTS signal for flow control and/or
scan control.
Options are:
• Disable — The scanner transmits to the host regardless of any
activity on the CTS line.
• Enable CTS Flow Control — The CTS signal controls transmis-
sion of data to the host.
• Enable CTS Scan Control — The CTS line must be active for
scanner to read and transmit data. While the CTS line is inactive,
scanner remains in a host- disabled state; following a successful
label transmission, the CTS signal must transition to inactive and
then to active to enable scanning for the next label.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan bar code below or from the following page for the desired
setting. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on facing pages
to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to
scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
