Use of Programming Command
Besides the barcode programming method, the scanner can also be configured by serial commands (HEX) sent from the
host device. All commands must be entered in uppercase letters.
Query Commands
For query commands, the entry in the Data field in the syntax above is one of the following characters means:
* (HEX: 2A)
What is the scanner's current value for the setting(s).
& (HEX: 26)
What is the factory default value for the setting(s).
^ (HEX: 5E)

The value of the StoreType field in a query command can be either "@" (HEX: 40) or "#" (HEX: 23).

~<SOH>0000@C11*;<ETX>).
