Disable Character
Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader.
ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
NOTE
Setting to previously defined characters such as XO
N, XOFF, or host commands conflicts
with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the option
Data Bits has been set as 7 Data Bits.
To set the value:
1. Determine the desired character or value. A setting of 0xFF indicates
the Disable Character

2. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent for
the desired char
acter/value.
3. Go to page 40 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Program-
ming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT DISABLE CHARACTER
SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alphanumeric characters from the keypad in Appendix D, Key-
pad, that represent the desired character/value in step 1 above. The second character will
cause a two-beep indication.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
bar code to exit Programming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 30 for some examples of how to set this feature.
