Hardware Flow Control
Disable Hardware Control —
The scanner transmits to the host regardless of
any activity on the CTS line.
Enable CTS Flow Control —
The CTS signal controls transmission of data
to the host.
Enable CTS Scan Control —
The CTS line must be active for the scanner to
read and transmit data. While the CTS line is inactive, the scanner
remains in a host-disabled state; following a successful label transmission, the CTS signal must transition to inactive and then to active to
enable scanning for the next label.
Intercharacter Delay
This delay is inserted after each data character transmitted. If the transmission speed is too high, the system may not be able to receive all characters. You may need to adjust the delay to make the system work
properly.

Host Echo
When enabled, this feature passes all data through the scanner to the
host as it comes in. This feature is used for applications where “daisy
chaining” of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is necessary. If, for
example, one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is
entering data while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code
requiring transmission to the host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232
channel to be quiet for a specified period of time (set via
Quiet Interval
). The scanner can be set to observe this delay before send-
ing its data in order to avoid RS-232 transmission conflicts.
Host Echo Quiet Interval
This setting specifies the time interval of RS-232 channel inactivity
which must transpire before the scanner will break the host echo loop to
transmit the bar code data that has just been scanned to the host.

Data Editing
Data Editing Overview
It is not recommended to use these features with IBM
or Wand Emulation interfaces.
CAUTION
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the
host computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar
code data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message
string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific
user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent
before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent
with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies.
Figure 4-1 shows
the available elements you can add to a message string:

Data Editing
Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data
editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is
typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the
Symbologies chap-
ter for these settings) across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the
ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on
the inside back cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to
appear on the output.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before
the bar code data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code
data) as indicated in

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to two ASCII characters (00FF), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended
previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon
how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring
custom Label IDs individually per symbology. If you wish to program
the scanner to always include an industry standard label identifier for
ALL symbology types, see the previous feature,
To configure a Label ID:
1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE or AFTER by scanning the appropriate bar code.
3. Scan a bar code to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label ID.

of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as
a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D.
5. Turn to
Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes rep-
resenting the hex characters determined in the previous step. For
the example given, the characters ‘0’, ‘0’, ‘3’ and ‘D’ would be
scanned. The two zeros scanned (‘0’, ‘0’) represent a selection of
“no character,” since this option allows for two Label ID characters. (Pad with zeros to enter four hex characters.)
6. Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight
bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The
first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character
to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set
to the following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an
ASCII capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII
1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character
conversion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters
were converted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the START bar code.
2. Scan the Character Conversion bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the
ASCII Chart on
the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex
digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to
Appendix C, Alpha-Numeric Pad and scan the bar codes rep-
resenting the hex characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the END bar code to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are
selected, scan the END bar code twice to accept the
selections and exit Programming Mode.
NOTE
Scan the END bar code to exit programming mode.
