SERIAL PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar- codes. Both
the serial commands and the programming barcodes will program the scanner. For complete
descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding
programming barcode in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see
). The following com- mands can be
sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameter
A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.
[
option
]
{Data}
bold
An optional part of a command.
Alternatives in a command.
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and win- dows
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
Prefix
Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name:
This command is only used with cordless devices. It is used to specify whether
you’re comm
unicating with the base or the scanner. To send information to
the scanner (with the base connected to host). This setting is changed by
using the BT_NAM command, which accepts alphanumeric values. If the
name is not known, a wild- card (*) 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.
Tag
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command
