Symbol Output

Symbol Output
Note: Symbol Output relates to data and should not to be confused with
Discrete Outputs listed in the
states and functions.
Symbol Output Status
Definition: Defines the conditions under which decoded symbols are transmitted to
the host.
Usage: Useful when the host needs bar code data only under certain conditions.
Serial Cmd: <K705,symbol output
Default: Good Read
Options: 0 = Disabled
1 = Match
2 = Mismatch
3 = Good Read
Note: If set to Match or Mismatch, Symbol Output Status will not take effect
unless Matchcode Type is enabled and a master symbol is loaded into memory.
Disabled
Definition: When set to Disabled, the scanner will not transmit any data that is
generated during a read cycle (symbols, noreads, etc.).
Usage: It is useful when an application only needs to use the discrete outputs
and can allow the scanner to do the decision-making. When Disabled,
the host does not need the symbol data and the communication lines
are used only for setup and status checks.
Match
Definition: When set to Match, the scanner transmits symbol data whenever a
symbol matches a master symbol. However, if Matchcode Type is Dis-
abled, it transmits on any good read.
Note: A noread can still be transmitted if Enabled.
