Serial Programming Specifications Serial Command Structure “Start Character”<Command 1>…<Command n>“End Character” The command structure consists of: Start character Command/s End character Start Character Every serial programming starts with an SOH character (ASCII value 01). The SOH character is needed only once for each set of commands, for example if you need to send two consecutive commands, it would require one SOH character followed by the two commands and the End character.

Serial Number Read & Setup Description: The maximum length is 30 characters and no control character is allowed for a serial number. Example: „SOH‟<SERIAL:>„EOT‟ Scanner Response: ACK “XXXXXXXXXX…\r\n” / NAK X is a printable ASCII, with variable length Description: When this option is enabled the data will be sent before the decoded data. The default is a „disable‟.
Serial Port Setup Description: To setup serial port parameters, changes will be effective after scanner ACK response. Host Requirement: The Character Delay range is between 0 ms – 50 ms Scanner Response: ACK / NAK Description Field Values allowed RS232 Data Bits RSBITS=8 RSBITS=7 RS232 Parity...
Registration Key Read & Write Description: To setup Registration Key, changes will be effective after scanner ACK response. Control characters are not permitted. The maximum length is 30 characters*. When the REGIEN option is enabled, the data will be added between serial number and decoded data.

Scanner upgrade Description: To transfer and upgrade scanner software. Changes will be effective after scanner ACK response. Scanner Response: ACK / NAK Example 1: Host: (ASCII value 01 „SOH‟)<A1CODE=Z>(ASCII value 04 „EOT‟) Scanner: ACK Host: switch to Zmodem protocol Scanner: switch to Zmodem protocol (After the file is being transferred) Host: switch back to normal setting Scanner: switch back to normal setting...
