MetroSet 2
This user-friendly Windows-based configuration software allows you to
simply 'point-and-click' at the desired scanner options. This software can be
downloaded for FREE at www.metrologic.com or set-up disks can be
ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO.
•
Serial Configuration
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives
the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of
the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of
the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide
( 00-02544).

How does Serial Configuration work?
1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each
numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].
EXAMPLE #1:
Command for Disabling Codabar
Command = [stx]100104[etx]
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h
(All values are hexadecimal).
2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an
[ack].
3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with
a [nak].
NOTE: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of
the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command
will not work, the user must start over.
