RS-232 Parameter - Hardware Handshaking

To prevent scanned information from being lost

Enable RTS/CTS

during transmission, your host device may require
an RTS/CTS signal. When the RTS/CTS (Request
To Send/Clear To Send) is enabled, the scanner
will output an RTS signal and wait for a CTS

** Disable RTS/CTS

signal before any data is transmitted. The default
setting of RTS/CTS is disabled. If necessary, scan
the ENABLE RTS/CTS bar code.

** Character RTS/CTS

When this option is chosen, the scanner will
activate and deactivate its RTS signal on each
character that it transmits.

Message RTS/CTS

When this option is chosen, the scanner will activate
and deactivate its RTS signal on each message that it
transmits. This mode should normally be enabled for
Sanyo registers.

RS-232 Parameter - Software Handshaking

For control of the data transmission process, use ACK/NAK or XON/XOFF
instead of or in addition to the RTS/CTS hardware handshaking option.

Enable ACK/NAK

When this option is enabled, the scanner will not
scan again unless an ACK (ASCII 06H) is
received after transmission of a bar code. If an
NAK (ASCII 15H) is received, the scanner will

** Disable ACK/NAK

retransmit the bar code.

Enable XON/XOFF

When this option is enabled, the scanner will stop
transmission whenever an XOFF (ASCII 13H) is
received. Transmission will resume after an
XON (ASCII 11H) is received.

** Disable XON/XOFF
