To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies
This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the 
decoded symbology.  (See the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for 
the single character code that identifies each symbology.)  This action first 
clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D. prefix for all symbologies.  
This is a temporary setting that will be removed when the unit is power cycled.

Te s t  M e n u
When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this 
manual, the scanner displays the content of a programming code.  The pro-
gramming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that program-
ming code is output to the terminal.  
Note: This feature should not be used during normal scanner operation.
EZConfig-Scanning Introduction
EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions 
that can be performed on a scanner...

Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the 
scanner.  The scanners programming and configuration data is 
grouped into different categories.  Each category is displayed as a tree 
item under the Configure tree node in the application explorer.  When 
one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with 
the parameters form belonging to that particular category.  The Con-
figure tree option has all the programming and configuration parame-
ters...

Resetting the Factory Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve 
changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default set-
tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate 
Defaults.  This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.
The Serial Programming Commands, beginning on page 9-1 list the factory 
default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the 
programming pages).This...

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 pro-
gram the scanner.  For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this 
manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-1).  The following 
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software....

9 - 2
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the 
command is applied.  An exclamation point (!) performs the command’s 
operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.  A period (.) 
performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatile menu 
configuration table.  Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent 
changes you want saved through a power cycle.
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings....

Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACKIndicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQIndicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command. 
NAKIndicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of 
the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an 
entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only 
accept 2 characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with 
the status character...

MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is 
set to 1, or on; 
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit; 
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled; 
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters; 
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters; 
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.  
Serial Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate...
