• All fields preceding the modified field must be included. For example, in
Host Port, to change Data Bits to Eight without changing any other field,
enter either:
<Ka,,,1>
or
<Ka4,1,0,1>
.
• All fields following the modified field can be left out. For example, in the
RS-232 port, to change Baud Rate to 4800, enter <Ka3>.
(See examples on following pages.)
Concatenating Serial Commands
Commands can be concatenated (added together) to a maximum of 64
characters in a single string or data block. Additional data blocks of 64 or
less characters can be sent provided there is at least a 10 ms pause
between blocks.
For example,
<Kc1><Kh1><Ko1><A>
enables LRC, sets End of Read
Cycle mode to New Trigger, enables Narrow Margins and resets the data
buffers (without saving the changes for power-on).
Loss of Communications
Making changes to communications parameters such as Baud Rate, Parity,
Stop Bits, LRC, etc. without corresponding changes in linked device(s) can
result in the loss of menu access. If this should occur, default the scanner.
See Appendix D, “Defaulting the Scanner,” on page A-8.
Trigger Filter Timing Value
Format:
<
KF
?>
Returns the current trigger filter timing value in milliseconds.
Format:
<
KF
one tenth trigger filter timing value>
Allows you to set trigger filter timing. Divide the desired number of
milliseconds by 10 and enter the quotient.
Initializing serial configuration commands
To ensure that a serial configuration command will take effect, you need
to follow it with one of the operational commands below:
<A>
To reset but not save changes for power-on
<Z>
To
reset and save changes for power-on
For example, to change Baud Rate and reset without saving changes for
power-up, enter
<Ka3><A>
.
To change Baud Rate and reset, saving the changes to NOVRAM, enter
<Ka3><Z>
.
