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.

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
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.

RS-232 ONLY Interface
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.

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 leading 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 indication after the last character.
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.
NOTE
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.

ACK NAK Options
This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. 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
