Saving Menu Changes

Press ESC (Escape key) to see the following on the command line:
Press M to return to the Main menu, or press E to exit the Menu Configura-
tion program. If E is pressed, the following question will appear:
Press N to exit without saving changes, or press Y to retain the current set-
tings for power up. If Y is selected, a second beep will indicate the save has
been carried out.
Note: Choosing Y will save only current changes that were made in the Config-
uration menus and will not affect Calibration settings.

Loss of Communications

Defaulting might be necessary if communications between the scanner and
another device are interrupted or if using incompatible equipment (for
example, a terminal is set to communicate at 9600 baud, but the scanner is
configured at 38.4K baud). Communication can also be lost if an address
has been assigned to the scanner.
To reset parameters to default values, see
Scanner," on page

Defining Special Characters

To define any control character from the ASCII table: Press SP once, then
enter the control character by holding down the control key and simultaneously
pressing the desired character. For example to define a line feed, press SP,
then Control and J simultaneously. It is displayed as ^J on the command line
and as <LF> in the menu when the screen is refreshed.
To define CR as a character: Press SP, then CR. It is displayed as ^M on the
command line and as <CR> in the menu when the screen is refreshed.
To define a space as a character: Press SP twice. It is displayed as a blank
space in the menu when the screen is refreshed. While it appears that noth-
ing has been assigned, the hex value 20 will be sent during data transmis-
sion.
To select NUL as the character: Press SP, then a 0 (zero). It is displayed as
<NUL> in the menu when the screen is refreshed.
