ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.

Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts
with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the option

has been set as 7 Data Bits.
To set this feature:
Determine the desired character or value. A setting of 0xFF indicates the Enable Character is
not used (not available).

2. Use the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent for
the desired character/value.
