settings:

many, France, Spain, Switzerland (German)). This setting must
match the setting in the control software.
￭ Make sure that the Ctrl characters (ASCII 00 to 31) are allowed to
be sent.
￭ Adjust the settings so that the ASCII character 02 (STX or Ctrl B) is
sent as the first character as "Preamble" or "Prefix Code".
￭ Adjust the settings so that the ASCII character 04 (EOT or Ctrl D) is
sent as the last character as "Postamble" or "Record Suffix" or
"Postfix Code".
