The decoderās ability to transmit decoded bar code data to a display terminal
can be enabled or disabled. If your host computer does not echo data, you
can enable the Display Terminal port using the Enable Terminal Port
configuration bar code symbol. When the decoder decodes a bar code
symbol, it will be transmitted simultaneously to the Host Computer and
Display Terminal ports. Refer to Figure 3.2.
