4. When you click on Terminal Preferences, the setting screen is displayed.
Set the displayed parameters as shown below. After setting the parameters,
click on OK.
5. Then, Click on Settings then Communications.
The following screen appears.
After setting “Connector” to COM1 or COM2, set the baud rate, data bits, stop
bits and parity according to the BL-180’s settings. When the data bits is set to
“8 bits”, the parity can only be set to “None.”
After setting the communication parameters, click on [OK].
6. When the BL-180 reads a bar code, the read data is displayed on the screen.
(When the BL-180’s delimiter is set to CR, data will be displayed with car-
riage returns. Control codes cannot be displayed.)
7. To send a command, type TEST1/TEST2 using the keyboard, and then
press [ENTER]. All commands should be in entered in all uppercase charac-
ters. Refer to pages 51 to 52 for available commands and for descriptions of
each commnad.
In read rate display test mode (TEST 1 mode), the entered command is diffi-
cult to see on the screen because the BL-180 is displaying the read data.
However, the command will be correctly sent.
8. To exit the terminal software, click on File then Exit.
Multi drop link commands cannot be sent.
RTS/CTS protocol commands cannot be confirmed.
When you start up “Terminal”, you cannot send the setting to BL using SETUP
software. Quit on close “Terminal” before you send the setting.
