Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock.  Default = 
Regular.
Regular 
is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.
Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common 
to U.S. keyboards).
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.   
The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2 
only). This selection can...

Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and 
Turbo Mode.
Control + ASCII Mode On:The image scanner sends key combinations for 
ASCII control characters for values 00-1F.  Refer to Keyboard Function 
Relationships, page 7-1 for CTRL+ ASCII Values.
  Default = Off
Turbo Mode:
The image scanner sends characters to a terminal faster.  If the 
terminal drops characters, do not use Turbo Mode.   Default = Off
Numeric Keypad Mode:
Sends numeric characters as...

Connecting the Base with RS-232 Serial Port
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base.
Note: For the base to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your 
type of terminal/computer.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer.  Tighten the 
two screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Plug the power supply barrel connector to the base, and plug the power 
supply into the AC source.
5. Once the base has...

RS-232 Baud Rate
Baud Rate sends the data from the image scanner to the terminal at the speci-
fied rate.  The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the image 
scanner.  
Default = 115,200.
RS-232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity
Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character.  If an applica-
tion requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and 
punctuation), select 7 data bits.  For applications which require use of the...

Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.Default = None.
RS-232 Handshaking
RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the image scan-
ner using software commands from the host device.  CTS/RTS operates in 
mode 2.  When this feature is turned 
Off, no data flow control is used.  When 
Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device suspends transmission by 
sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the image scanner.  To resume 
7 Data, 1 Stop,...

transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11).  Data transmis-
sion continues where it left off when XOFF was sent.  Default = RTS/CTS, XON/
XOFF and ACK/NAK Off.
Host ACK Selection
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject 
incoming bar code data and notify the operator of these actions.  These applica-
tions require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted 
from the source image scanner.  Turning the Host ACK...

Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences.  An 
example of a command string is listed below.
0456,
The above example will make an image scanner in application work group zero 
beep low, medium, high.
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:
 The image scanner reads a code and sends data to the base/host system.  
No audible or visual indication is emitted until you receive an escape 
command.  The image scanner read illumination goes out upon a successful...
