RS-232 Parameters
RS-232 Only
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the scanner's baud rate to
match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate setting, data may
not reach the host correctly.
Stop Bits
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one
character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream.
The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is
programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device
requirements.
Parity
This feature specifies parity required for sending and receiving data. A parity check bit is the
most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host
device requirements.
•
Select None when no parity bit is required.
•
Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an
odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
•
Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that
an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
Handshaking Control
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the
hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). Handshaking
Control includes the following options:
•
RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
•
RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions.
•
RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and XOFF
gate transmissions.
•
RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
•
RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions
and controls enable and disable state of scanner.
RS-232/USB COM Parameters
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the
beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in
10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
