Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming
bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will pro-
gram the scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this
manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-2 ). The following
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions

command.
[ option]An optional part of a command.
{Data}Alternatives in a command.
bold Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows
that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […]
Storage
PrefixThree ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name:To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to host), use
: Xenon : The default factory setting for a Xenon scanner is Xenon scanner.
This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, which accepts
alphanumeric values. If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be used
:*:.
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to
scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and
not to the scanner.

command group. For example, all RS232 configuration settings are
identified with a Tag of
232 .
SubTagA 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the RS232
baud rate is
