EXAMPLE #3:

The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code
is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the
baud rate to 19200.

Invalid command was sent, you must start over!
Enter Program Mode [stx]999999[etx]

02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

Load Defaults

[stx]999998[etx]

02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

19200 Baud Rate

[stx]415870[etx]

02h 34h 31h 35h 38h 37h 30h 03h [ack] or 06h

Exit Program Mode [stx]999999[etx]

02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

The scanner will beep three times!

This example illustrates two important points.

First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with
a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning.

Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate
does not take effect until after the end-user exits program mode.
