■ Serial data input: SIN
Sets the character string specified for “Serial Data Function” to change characters for each marking.
Function characters (serial data) are preset to the marking character string or bar code data. Marking of the transmitted
character string corresponding with the serial data starts.

• For marking characters, up to 30
characters can be input with one-
byte or double-byte (Shift-JIS code)
characters.
• For the code data, up to 255
characters can be input with one-
byte or double-byte (Shift-JIS code)
characters.
It is not possible to use both ASCII
code and Shift-JIS code in one strings.
Reference
• Only when the internal shutter is opened during the remote mode (“Reception mode ON” is not set for command
reception permission (MKM command)), the serial data can be transmitted to the laser marker.
• For using this command, set “serial data” of function characters at setting screen beforehand.
• When using this function (serial data), transmit this command by every marking. Otherwise it does not become marking
ready condition, and marking is not available.
• When transmit this command without any data, marking ready become ON, then nothing to be marked with serial data
input.
• For resetting the data, set the “reception mode ON” for command reception permission (MKM command) or close the
shutter.
• SIN command cannot be used with the rank function, external offset and equidistant marking to moving object.
• If SIN command is used with the marking to the flying object, make sure that the marking interval time is enough to the
required period to input the marking data and to confirm the marking ready output.
• In case of transmitting character by this command which is differed to the specified number of digit, the character is
marked with the differed number of digit.
• Refer to “Timing chart for serial data marking” (P.49) for this command transmission.
• To input the control codes in the barcode/2D code strings, set the code data as follows:
• The following control codes EOT, FS, GS, RS, or US you can set by using ASCII code. In this case, set the other
characters by using ASCII code, too.
Control code EOT FS GS RS US
ASCII code (HEX) 04 1C 1D 1E 1F
• To include the control codes other than EOT, FS, GS, RS, or US in the strings, set the all control codes by using
these 2-byte alternate codes instead of ASCII code. In this case, set the other characters including alphanumeric by
using Shift-JIS code.
Control code 00 (HEX) to 1F (HEX) 7F (HEX)
Alternate code F050 (HEX) to F06F (HEX) F071 (HEX)
• To input “FNC1” for CODE128, GS1 DataBar Expanded, and 2D side of Composite code, use the following alternate
code. In this case, set the other characters including alphanumeric by using Shift-JIS code.
Control code FNC1
Alternate code F072 (HEX)
