(SN) Scanner Configuration – This command configures the optional linear scanner, as follows:
Values
B
C
H
M
V
Example: <STX>KcSNC00H4MAB12YV0<CR>
(The above sample sets the printer to sense the scanner automatically, to read a variable
number of UPC bar codes, and to pass only those codes where ¼ inch of the bar code has
identical reads.)

Extended System-Level Command Functions
Scanner Configuration Range / Interpretation
Bar Code Type – Specifies the bar code, using two digits, followed by 'Y' (to enable) or
'N' (to disable) the code, where:
01 = CODE 39
02 = IATA
03 = CODABAR
04 = INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5
05 = INDUSTRIAL 2 OF 5
Note: To maximize throughput and decoding integrity enable only those symbologies that will
be read.
Bar Code Count – Specifies the number of codes to be read, where:
00 – 99 (00 = Auto [variable] mode, counting those codes present)
Note: Do not use Auto Mode with bitmapped codes or codes with certain addendums; see
Appendix F.
Min Readable Height – Sets the vertical distance of the code that must have identical
reads to pass, where:
1 = 1/16
2 = 2/16
3 = 3/16
4 = 1/4
5 = 1/2
0 = Disabled (defaults to Redundancy Level, 2x)
Note: The specified distance should not exceed 50% of the measured bar code height.
Mode – Enables detection of the scanner by the printer, where:
A = Auto (automatically senses presence); Y is also a valid enabler.
E = Enabled (if presence is not detected a fault is generated).
D = Disabled (the scanner is disabled); (N is also a valid disabler.)
Redundancy Level – An alternative data integrity method, where the selected level sets
the number of consecutive, identical decodes required to pass the bar code. If differing
values are read, the count is restarted.
0 = Auto Mode
1 = read code 1X
2 = read code 2X
3 = read code 3X
4 = read code 4X
5 = read code 5X
Note: Depending upon the print speed, higher levels may cause erroneous failures when
scanning multiple or small bar codes.
