Enable Character
Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader.
ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with
normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the option
Data Bits
has been set as 7 Data Bits.
To set this feature:
Determine the desired character or value.
A setting of 0xFF indicates the Enable Character is not used (not
available).
1. Determine the desired character or value.
2. Use the
ASCII Chart
on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent for the desired char-
acter/value.
3. Go to

Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT ENABLE CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alphanumeric characters from the keypad in
