ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE MOTION FEATURES Motionless Timeout The period of time that must expire without detecting any motion, before the reader is assumed to be in a motionless condition. The selectable setting is from 500 to 25,500 milliseconds in 100 millisecond increments. This option relates to such features as Aimer On and Stand Mode/Object Detection scanning with respect to motion.
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE High Motion Immunity When set to triggerless scanning mode (e.g. Flashing, Always On, Stand Mode/Object Detection, etc.) the reading capabilities can be modified according to two main goals: • increased performance for rapidly moving barcodes - Enable High Motion Immunity: •increased performance for distant barcodes - Disable High Motion Immunity: Depending on specific environmental conditions, application requirements, or expected performance, choose the best solution.

REFERENCES RS-232 PARAMETERS RS-232 ONLY Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate set- ting, data may not reach the host correctly.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 millisec- onds in 10ms increments.
REFERENCES ACK NAK Options This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data prop- erly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error. Options are: •...
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS NAK Character This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
REFERENCES ACK NAK Timeout Value This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout. To set this value: 1.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries. To set this feature: 1.
REFERENCES Disable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
RS-232/USB COM PARAMETERS Enable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. NOTE: Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
REFERENCES KEYBOARD INTERFACE Wedge Quiet Interval Specifies the amount of time the reader looks for keyboard activity before it breaks the keyboard connection in order to transmit data to host. The range is from 0 to 990ms in 10ms increments. NOTE: This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
