    The 370/470 RF Scanner Introduction The RF scanner is a revolutionary, cordless approach to capturing bar coded data. The scanner communicates with your host computer through a low-power radio transmission instead of through a cable. With the RF scanner, you are free to scan and transmit without a physical cable to limit your movement, from as far away as 100 feet (30.5 meters), depending on your environment.

    Parameter Menus Software Handshaking (Continued) ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the cradle expects either an ACK, Acknowledge, or NAK, Negative Acknowledge, response from the host. Whenever a NAK is received, the cradle 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 cradle issues an error indication and discards the data.

The number of stop bits (one or two) selected depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate.

  • Page 155: Intercharacter Delay

    Parameter Menus Intercharacter Delay Select the intercharacter delay option matching host requirements.
