Chapter 9 Configuring the FM30
There are two ways to configure the scanner: barcode programming and command programming.
Barcode Programming
The FM30 can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable
features/options are described along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following
chapters.
Command Programming
Besides the barcode programming method, the FM30 can also be configured by serial commands sent
from the host device. Note that communication parameters on the scanner and the host must match so
that two devices can communicate with each other. The default settings of the scanner are 9600bps, no
parity check, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. The scanner uses 8-bit registers.
Read Register
The read command is used to read the contents of 1 to 256 contiguous registers in the scanner.
Syntax: {Prefix1} {Types} {Lens} {Address} {Datas} {FCS}
Prefix1 : 0x7E 0x00
