Classic Line: ; Value Line:
This option is used to control the format of the transmitted serial data. If you are directly connecting the Card Reader to a
serial device with a powered serial port and are not using a Serial Converter, set this option to ON.
Serial Intercharacter Delay: 1
Classic Line: ; Value Line:
This option is used to control the amount of delay between each of the characters transmitted serially. This option is
specified in Milliseconds and ranges from 0 to 50.
Serial Caps Lock: OFF
Classic Line: ; Value Line:
When the Serial Data Format is set to SCAN CODES (PCTERM), this option controls the scan codes that are generated
for the NUMERIC KEYPAD KEYS. When the Serial Data Format is set to ASCII this option has no effect.
Serial Num Lock: ON
Classic Line: ; Value Line:
When the Serial Data Format is set to SCAN CODES (PCTERM), this option controls the scan codes that are generated

Wand Emulation Append Mode: OFF
Classic Line: ; Value Line:
The Code 128 bar code specification defines a FNC 2 character that can be used to concatenate two or more Code 128
bar codes. When a bar code with this special character is read, the decoder, stores the bar code and continues reading
until a bar code without the special character is read. After reading a bar code without the special character all stored bar
code data is transmitted to the host computer as if one bar code was read. This option is used to control the sending of
the FNC 2 character.
Wand Emulation Max Segment Size: 18
Classic Line: ; Value Line:
This option is used to control the maximum number of characters of data that are transmitted in each segment. For
example, if 30 characters of magnetic stripe data is read, two segments would be transmitted. The first segment size
would be eighteen characters and the second would be the remaining twelve characters of data. Segment sizes can
range from 1 to 99 characters.
Note: Your bar code decoder will have a maximum number of characters that may appear in a Code 128 bar code.
You should consult your bar code decoder manual to determine this number and set the Max Segment Size to the
appropriate value.
Wand Emulation Segment Output Delay: 5
Classic Line: ; Value Line:
This is the amount of time, the Card Reader waits before sending the next segment of the Magnetic Card data. This delay
is used to give the receiving bar code reader enough time to process the previously transmitted segment. This input is in
10ths of a second and ranges from 0 to 30.
