K Command Options
Echo K Command
Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
When enabled, serial configuration commands (“K” commands) will be processed and
the new string for that command will be echoed back to the host. If an invalid com-
mand is sent to the host, the scanner will echo back the current setting of that com-
mand. For example, if the current Noread Message is “NOREAD” and
<Kk1,NONSENSE> is entered, the scanner will echo back: <Kk1,NOREAD>. In this
example the attempted entry “NONSENSE” exceeds the maximum allowable seven
characters. Therefore it is rejected and the current NOREAD message is echoed back
and remains the Noread Message.
Note: It is important to note that if a command with multiple fields is processed,
some of the fields may have been processed properly following an “invalid” command.
These changes will be in the string echoed back so that the user will know what did or
did not change.
Beep on K
Default: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
When enabled, the scanner beeps once whenever a K command is entered to indicate that the
command was accepted and processed. If an invalid command is entered, the scanner beeps 5
times to indicate an invalid entry. However, this does not necessarily mean that all data fields
have been entered incorrectly. Only one bad field needs to be found in order to activate the 5
beep response.
Control Character Output
Default: Ctrl
Options: Ctrl, Hex
Determines response to an Echo K or status request command. When set to CTRL,
ASCII control character output includes a control character as shown in the “Ctrl” col-
umn of
Table A-4, “ASCII Table with Control Characters,” on page A-10 . When
set to Hex, the output is the actual character.
