Select the parity type according to host device requirements. 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.
Page 112 LS 9208 Product Reference Guide Parity (continued) 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. Even Select Mark parity and the parity bit is always 1.

RS-232 Interface Parity (continued) Select None when no parity bit is required. None Check Receive Errors Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.
Page 114: Hardware Handshaking
LS 9208 Product Reference Guide Hardware Handshaking 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). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available.
Page 115 RS-232 Interface None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. None Standard RTS/CTS Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. Standard RTS/CTS 6-15...
Page 116 LS 9208 Product Reference Guide RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete. RTS/CTS Option 1 RTS/CTS Option 2 When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level).
Page 117: Software Handshaking
RS-232 Interface RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to 2 seconds (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Page 118 LS 9208 Product Reference Guide ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Page 119 RS-232 Interface ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to 2 seconds for an XON character before transmission.
Page 120: Host Serial Response Time-Out
LS 9208 Product Reference Guide Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option.

Page 123: Stop Bit Select
RS-232 Interface Stop Bit Select 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.

Page 513 Bar Height The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width. Bar Width Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar. Baud Rate A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events occurring per second.
Page 514 Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology. Check Digit A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are optional for other symbologies.
Page 515 Continuous Code A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
Page 516 Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations from this value. Nominal Size Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes are used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal). Parameter A variable that can have different values assigned to it.
Page 517 A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is the reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars.
Page 518 The distance between the outside edges of the quiet zones of the first row and the last row. Symbol Length Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
