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 full
ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character.
Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
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
