  • Page 23: Scan Mode Function Extension For Ascii Readers

    Scan mode function extension for ASCII readers The scan mode function extension retains the original function of the RF200 ASCII readers. The extension adds the SYSTEM command to the existing command set. Using this command, you can switch the readers retentively to scan mode. This means that the switchover to scan mode is stored in a failsafe manner on the reader.
