If there is any ques- tion about the symbol's readability, contact your Microscan representative at helpdesk@microscan.com. • After changing any parameter that might affect decode rate, repeat decode rate test.

Interface Standards, established by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), specify such things as the signaling voltage levels, maximum cable lengths, and number of drivers. With Microscan devices, selection of interface is made by pin assignment and, in the case of the host communications, by software switching between RS232 and RS422.
