All available commands are listed on the following pages as well as a brief description of what
the parameter choices mean. Some commands require further elaboration that can be found in
the relevant sections in the guide.
For example, the command to enable reading of Code 128 barcode symbols is
"128ENAB 1". The full command to apply this setting to ROM is:
#128ENAB 1.
Throughout this manual, the serial command for each setting is shown directly below the
corresponding barcode menu symbol. Additionally, all commands are shown in table A1-2.
Upon reception of the special command "#HELP", the FM-8/FM-9 will output all of its commands
serially to the host computer, in the format shown in table A1-1. This is a very helpful way to see
what commands are supported by the firmware version that you are using, and to archive the
imager configuration.
