Using Reader Commands
After the 700 Series Computer is connected to your network, you can send
the 700 Series Computer a reader command from an application to per-
form a task, such as changing the time and date. Some reader commands
temporarily override the configuration settings and some change the con-
figuration settings.
Change Configuration
The Change Configuration command must precede any configuration
command. If you enter a valid string, the 700 Series Computer configura-
tion is modified and the computer emits a high beep. To send the Change
Configuration command through the network, use the $+ [command]
syntax where command is the two-letter command syntax for the configu-
ration command followed by the value to be set for that command.
You can also make changes to several different commands by using the
$+ [command]...[command n]
syntax. There are seven configuration
command settings that can be changed in this way. See each command for
information on respective acceptable “data” values.
Command Syntax
