Communications

Chapter Contents

With Microscan’s ESP™ (Easy Setup Program), configuration changes can be made in

the ESP menus, then sent and saved to your scanner. The user can also send serial

commands to the scanner via the ESP’s Terminal window.
This section includes connecting parameters and options for communicating by the aux-

iliary port and various interfaces.
Note: The characters

NULL <>

and

can only be entered through embedded menus,

not through ESP or serial commands.
Note: Default settings for establishing communications are:

Baud =

9600

Parity =

Even

Stop Bits =

One

Data Bits =

Seven

Flow Control =

None
