RS-232 Interface Features — cont.
Host Echo
When enabled, this feature passes all data through the scanner to the host as it comes in. This
feature is used for applications where “daisy chaining” of RS-232 devices onto the same cable is
necessary. If, for example, one of the devices in the chain is a terminal where someone is entering
data while another person is simultaneously scanning a bar code requiring transmission to the
host, the scanner will wait for the RS-232 channel to be quiet for a specified period of time (set
via
RS-232 Host Echo Quiet Interval ). The scanner can be set to observe this delay before sending its
data in order to avoid RS-232 transmission conflicts.
