SERIAL PROGRAMMING
COMMANDS
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar
codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the
scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming
command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 8). The following com-
mands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.
parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
[option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
bold Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and win-
dows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name: To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to
host), use :Voyager: The default factory setting for a Voyager scanner
is Voyager scanner. If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be
used :*
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to scanner once
they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and not to the scanner.
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS232 configuration settings are
identified with a Tag of 232.
