9 - 8 Symbol MS4404/MS4407 Integration Guide

Parity

A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host
device requirements.
•
Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character
contains an odd number of 1 bits.
•
Select Even parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character
contains an even number of 1 bits.
•
Select None when no parity bit is required.

Stop Bit Select

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and
prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. Select the number of stop bits (one or
two) to match the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to
match host device requirements.
