Maximum Host-Transmitted Message Length
Specifies the maximum number of data characters allowed in messages
transmitted to the host.
To set the Maximum Host-Transmitted Message Length:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan the bar code, SET MAXIMUM HOST-TRANSMITTED
MESSAGE LENGTH below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar
codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads
only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in Appendix C that
represent the desired maximum host-transmitted message length.
The selectable range is 0-249 data characters. (Labels that are
longer than this length are not read.) Pad all single and double
digit numbers with leading zeroes to yield a three-digit entry
(000-249).
4. The scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the
appropriate amount of digits have been scanned
SET MAXIMUM HOST-TRANSMITTED MESSAGE LENGTH
NOTE
If this configuration item is set to 0 (000), there is no general length limit
imposed on data being transmitted to the host.
