A Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC) is an error checking character that is
calculated across a sequence of data characters. It is determined by eXclusive
ORing (XOR) the characters to be checked, starting with an initial value of 00H.
The result, an “LRC byte” is then transmitted following the data stream and used
by the receiving computer to determine if the information was received correctly.
In the scanner’s case, XOR is performed prior to adding parity bits.
When the LRC is enabled, the scanner defaults to starting the LRC on the
second byte of information transmitted. Optionally, the calculation can start on
the first byte transmitted.
