  • Page 109: Appendix 2 Control Commands

    Appendix 2 Control Commands Control commands refer to commands that are exchanged between the host computer and the scanner via the communications line. Some of the control commands that the host computer issues are functionally equivalent to some parameters that can be set with the QR-coded parameter menu (refer to Chapter 11).

  • Page 111 Direction Description Control Commands Scanner Host Mismatch If code data scanned does not match master data in Data verification mode, the scanner sends this command as long as the NG transmission is enabled for a mismatch. DEFAULT The parameter setting is reset to the default setting (factory default). (Note 1) If the scanner receives the R command twice with the reading window being applied to a code (for example, it receives the R command, sends the code data read, and receives the Z and R commands), it will send even the same code data twice.
