The built-in setup parameters of the scanner fall into
four general categories:
• General Setup
• Serial Communication
• Message Format
• Symbologies
Each category controls parameters that relate to
specific functions of scanner operations or
communications with the host device.
General Setup Parameters
General setup parameters are basic to the operation
of the scanner. These parameters control:
• System Status
• Power Consumption
• Beeper Operation
• Capture Count
• Spotter Beam
• Autosense Mode
• External Trigger
General parameters are set by scanning bar code
labels in Chapter 5.
Serial Communication Parameters
The serial communication parameters define how the
scanner will communicate with the host computer
through its serial interface including:
• Baud Rate
• Serial Data Parameters
• Intercharacter Delay
• Protocol
• Serial Transmit Buffer
Serial Communication parameters are set by scanning
bar code labels in Chapter 6.
