Printer’s magnetic stripe input. A POS terminal becomes
possible. Scan the credit card and print the receipt, all on the
RF Terminal.
Here are some rules and useful tips for creating messages (one or more
commands per message):
• Re-initialize commands *@, or n@ (where n is the Terminal ID 0-F) clear
the buffer for terminal(s) in the Base Station. Following a re-initialization,
the host program should re-display of all the screen data necessary to start
the application.
• A message with multiple commands is legal and useful. For example, the
command “@1,1,0, PLEASE ENTER@2,1,1,QTY” would display
PLEASE ENTER on line 1, display QTY on line 2, and then wait for data
input. All 6 lines can be filled with one message.
• Messages can be a combination of multiple commands, (i.e. voice
messages, initialization, clearing lines, requesting data entry), up to 247
characters in length. A message cannot though, contain an @S command
in combination with any other command. A message also should not
contain more than 1 request for data entry (third character in command is
1). For example:
@1,1,1,ITEM@2,1,1,QTY
