An autoterminator is an ASCII character that the decoder places at the
end of each data transmission. You can use autoterminators to sepa-
rate input with tabs, carriage returns, punctuation, or other ASCII
characters.
To set an autoterminator (I.D. #B1), scan the bar codes for the ASCII
value of a single ASCII character with no string terminator (//). For
example, to set an autoterminator of CR (carriage return), you would
enter B10D. To set no autoterminator, you would enter B100.
This method lets you display programming parameters and settings
on your screen. You can select parameters and change their settings
using the computer's keyboard.
