RS-232 Parameters ACK NAK Options This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data properly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error. Options are: • Disable • Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from the host when a label is sent. • Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/NAK when the host sends a command.
PAGE 244
References NAK Character This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8bit data is not recognized when the option Data Bits has been set as 7 Data Bits. To set this feature: 1. Determine the desired character or value. 2.
PAGE 245
RS-232 Parameters ACK NAK Timeout Value This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout. To set this value: 1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. 2. Divide the desired setting by 200 (setting is in 200ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits.
PAGE 246
References ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries. To set this feature: 1. Determine the desired setting. 2. Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc. 3.

References Symbologies Decoding Level Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs. • Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels. • Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
PAGE 253
Symbologies Set Length 2 This feature allows you to set one of the barcode lengths for the specified symbology. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. See the page for the specific symbology for parameters. The length that can be set varies depending on the symbology. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length (only one fixed length). Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1.
PAGE 254
References Data Editing When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string. There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data.
PAGE 255
Data Editing Global Prefix/Suffix Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode data) and/ or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in Figure 7. Figure 7. Prefix and Suffix Positions OR...

PAGE 256
References Global AIM ID This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology types. AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of three characters as follows: • A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by... • A code character (see the table below), followed by... • A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).
PAGE 257
Data Editing Label ID A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x010xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets" below) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology"on page 249).

Data Editing Character Conversion Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.

References Reading Parameters Label Gone Timeout This feature sets the time after the last label segment is seen before the reader prepares for a new label. The timeout can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments. Label Gone Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. 2.
PAGE 263
Reading Parameters Good Read LED Duration This feature specifies the amount of time that the Good Read LED remains on following a good read. The good read LED on time can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (0.001 to 2.55 seconds) in 100ms increments. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. A setting of 0 means that the good read LED stays on until the next time the trigger is pulled. 2.

Scanning Features Scanning Active Time This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader stays in scan ON state once the state is entered. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second increments. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1. Determine the desired setting. 2. Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc. 3. Go to page 74 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode. 4.
PAGE 266
References Flash On Time This feature specifies the ON time for the indicator LED while in Flash Mode. The selectable range is 100 to 9,900 milliseconds (0.1 to 9.9 seconds), in 100 millisecond increments. Follow these instructions to set this feature. 1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. 2. Divide the desired setting by 100 (setting is in 100ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc. 3.
PAGE 267
Scanning Features Flash Off Time This feature specifies the OFF time for the indicator LED while in Flash Mode. The selectable range is 100 to 9,900 milliseconds (0.1 to 9.9 seconds), in 100 millisecond increments. Follow these instructions to set this feature. 1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. 2. Divide the desired setting by 100 (setting is in 100ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits.
