Character Activation Mode
You may use a character sent from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning. When the activation character is received,
the scanner continues scanning until either the Character Activation Timeout (page 4-14), the deactivation character is received
(see Deactivation Character on page 4-14), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code to use character acti-
vation, then use Activation Character (following) to select the character you will send from the host to start scanning. Default =
Off.
Activation Character
This sets the character used to trigger scanning when using Character Activation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion Chart
(Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning. Scan
the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII
character. Scan Save to finish. Default = 12 [DC2].
End Character Activation After Good Read
After a bar code is successfully detected and read from the scanner, the illumination can be programmed either to remain
on and scanning, or to turn off. When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the illumination turns off
and stops scanning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the illumination
remains on after a good read. Default = Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read.
