Reader Command Reference

This chapter describes the reader commands that you can use while operating the
terminal. Reader commands, such as Change Configuration, allow you to perform a
task on the terminal.
Using Reader Commands
A reader command causes the terminal to perform a task. Some reader commands
temporarily override the configuration settings and some actually change the
configuration settings. For example, you can reset the terminal to the default
configuration or change the configuration.
You can execute reader commands by
•
scanning a command from a Code 39 or Code 93 bar code label.
•
sending a command from a device on the serial or Ethernet network.
There are three general types of reader commands:
•
Accumulate mode commands
•
Operating commands
•
File management commands
The reader commands are listed in alphabetical order within these three categories. You
will find the purpose, command syntax, and bar code labels for each reader command in
this chapter.
Note: The Code 39 bar code labels in this chapter show an asterisk (*) at the beginning
and end of the human-readable interpretation to represent the start and stop codes. If
you are creating your own Code 39 bar code labels, your bar code printing utility may
automatically supply the asterisks as the start/stop code.
Using Accumulate Mode
You can use Accumulate mode to collect data from a series of bar code labels and enter
them as a single label. When you put the terminal in Accumulate mode, the terminal
will collect all scanned bar code labels in the terminal’s buffer until you scan either the
Enter or Exit Accumulate mode command.
As you accumulate the data from bar code labels, the data is visible on the bottom line
of the screen. You can edit the accumulated data with the Backspace, Clear, and Enter
commands.
