RS-232 Parameters
RS-232
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 setting, data may not reach the host correctly.
Stop Bits
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares
the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two)
depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to
match host device requirements.
Parity
This feature specifies parity required for sending and receiving data. A parity check bit is the most significant bit of
each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements.
•
Select None when no parity bit is required.
•
Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1
bits are contained in the coded character.
•
Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1
bits are contained in the coded character.
Handshaking Control
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking
lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). Handshaking Control includes the following options:
•
RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
•
RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions.
•
RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and XOFF gate transmis-
sions.
•
RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions and controls enable and
disable state of scanner.
