12 Utilities
Contents
Utility commands are generally commands that are performed during scanner operations
to check read rates, determine read rates or perform miscellaneous operations on scanner
hardware. Serial utility commands are not prefaced with a K and a numeric code, nor do
they require an initialization command ( <A> and <Z> ). They can be entered from within
any terminal program or from within ESP in the Terminal window.
Note : The characters NUL , < , > , and , can only be entered through embedded menus, not
through ESP or serial commands.
