8.4.1 How to set up the reader?
The reader in Autonomous Mode must be configured through ASCII commands sent by the serial port
created on the Operating System when the reader is turned on.
8.4.1.1 Operating logic
Setting up the READER via ASCII messages works with the Message/Response framework:
A. An external Host sends a command to the reader;
B. The reader interprets and executes the command inserted into the received message;
C. The reader responds to the external Host.
Messages and replies use ASCII characters with a carriage return terminator <CR>, which is [ENTER].
Messages can be cashed, low, or both.
NOTE: To find out which serial port the reader will respond to, please refer to 7.1 Turning on the
reader.
The reader echoes each character typed in the serial terminal and each new line the reader
sends the character “>” to indicate the cursor
