• This does not guarantee the communication with all code readers. Check the performance and operation before use.
• To connect the RS-232C port with the code reader, the communication command control by RS-232C is disabled.
• The control is enabled only when the laser marker is in the remote or run status.

6-2-4 Preparation of readout code

„ String that can be transferred
To use the code reader linkage function, check that the readout bar code/2D code data to read satisfy the following
conditions.
• Generate code data by alphanumeric characters and symbols within the range of ASCII code 20(HEX) to 7E(HEX).
• To set the file number, specify it always with 4-digits.
• Do not contain two-byte characters and/or control codes in the code data.
• When two-byte "%" is used, replace the code data with the following characters.
Characters you want to use
%
• As long as the code data to read satisfy the above conditions, any code type can be used.
• If any character that is not supported is contained in the read code, data cannot be transferred to the laser marker
regardless of data extraction setting.
• For the list of ASCII codes, refer to "Serial Communication Command Guide".
