Appendix A - Command Format
The HS1-M accepts a wide range of configuration commands. Commands can be sent to the
HS1-M whether by scanning a menu barcode symbol or via Serial commands sent from the host
machine.
The HS-1M command format is:
Send Command: #<parameter><space><argument><specifier>[Carriage Return]
Where:
Parameter: Command
Argument: Value to be set, if applicable
Specifier:
Character to designate action to be taken.
Specifier Action
!
Save value to RAM
.
Save value to ROM
@
Save all current settings to custom defaults
?
Query current value (use without argument)
*
Query range (use without argument)
All available commands are listed on the following pages as well as a brief description of what
the parameter choices mean. Some commands require further elaboration that can be found in
the relevant sections in this manual.
For example, the command to enable reading of Code 128 barcode symbols is
“128ENAB 1”. The full command to apply this setting to ROM is:
#128ENAB 1.
[CR]
Throughout this manual, the serial command for each setting is shown directly below the
corresponding barcode menu symbol. Additionally, all commands are shown in table A1-2.
Upon reception of the special command “
HELP
”, the HS1-M will output all of its commands
serially to the host computer, in the format shown in table A1-1. This is a very helpful way to see
what commands and ranges are supported by the firmware version that you are using, and to
archive the HS1-M configuration.
