RS-232 ONLY Interface
Introduction
Use the programming barcodes in this chapter if modifications to the standard RS-232
interface settings are necessary to meet your system’s requirements. Additional settings
which apply to both the RS-232 and USB interfaces are available in Chapter 6, RS-232/
USB-Com Interfaces.
RS-232 Standard Factory Settings
Reference Appendix B, Standard Defaults for a listing of standard factory settings.
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader'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.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
Baud Rate = 1200
Baud Rate = 2400
Baud Rate = 4800

Data Bits

This parameter allows the reader to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit
ASCII protocol for sending and receiving data.

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 receiv-
ing terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host
device requirements.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
1 Stop Bit
2 Stop Bits
DEFAULT

Parity
Product Reference Guide 45
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.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
Parity = None
Parity = Even
Parity = Odd
DEFAULT

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). Hand-
shaking 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 transmis-
sions and controls enable and disable state of scanner.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
Handshaking Control = RTS
Handshaking Control = RTS/CTS
Handshaking Control = RTS/XON/XOFF
Handshaking Control = RTS On/CTS
Handshaking Control = RTS/CTS Scan Control

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:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent
the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 7 for some examples of how to set this feature.
Table 7. Intercharacter Delay Setting Examples
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

Beep On ASCII BEL
When this parameter is enabled, the reader issues a beep when a <BEL> character is de-
tected on the RS-232 serial line. <BEL> is issued to gain a user's attention to an illegal
entry or other important event.
Beep On Not on File
This option enables/disables the action of the reader to sound a three beep sequence upon
receiving a Not-On-File (NOF) host command.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE

Beep On ASCII BEL = Enable

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE

ACK NAK Options
Product Reference Guide 51
ACK NAK Options
This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK proto-
col. When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data
properly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error.
Options are:
•Disable
• Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from the host
when a label is sent.
• Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/NAK
when the host sends a command.
• Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
ACK/NAK Protocol = Disable ACK/NAK
ACK/NAK Protocol = Enable for label transmission
ACK/NAK Protocol = Enable for host-command
acknowledge
ACK/NAK Protocol = Enable for label transmission and host-com-

ACK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK character.
ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
To set this feature:
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 character/value.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT ACK CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix E,
Keypad, that represent the desired character/value in step 1above. The second character
will cause a two-beep indication.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 8 for some examples of how to set this feature.
Table 8. ACK Character Setting Examples
NOTE
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host
commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit

ACK NAK Timeout Value
This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the
host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to
15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout.
To set this value:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 200 (setting is in 200ms increments). Pad the result with
leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.

This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a
retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the
count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries.
To set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting.
2. Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005,
