ROGRAMMING UIDE Settings and Programming Scan selected barcodes in this manual to affect setup and programming of your handheld 2D Imager. Decoding options and interface protocols can be tailored to a specific application. Setup parameters are stored in non-volatile memory in the scanner and are retained even when power is off.
Interface Mode Interface Switch Your imaging barcode scanner supports USB virtual COM, USB-HID and RS232. The USB cable supports both USB virtual COM and USB-HID modes. Please install the driver before using USB Virtual COM. To use USB Virtual COM for the first time, scan the USB Virtual COM barcode below then install the driver.
Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the imager's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form. 1200BPS 2400BPS 4800BPS...
Word Format: Parity, Data bits, Stop bits A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements. Parity: checks character bit patterns for validity; Data bits: sets the word length; Stop bits: sets the stop bits. None,7,1 None,7,2 None,8,1...
