For PowerScan M8300 models with display, if the RS-232 interface is selected for
communication between the Host and the BC-80X0 cradle, then the following
additional communications between Host and Scanner can occur:
•
The Host can send messages to any scanner associated with that cradle to
control the Scanner's display, LEDs and beeper.
•
The Scanner can send up to 3 user-defined characters to the Host using the 3
command keys on the Scanner.
