RTS/CTS Handshaking
When this option is enabled, the Request To Send (RTS) line is activated when the
decoder has characters to transmit. Transmission proceeds when the Clear To Send
(CTS) line is active.
When disabled, RTS remains inactive and CTS is ignored.
* Default is
RTS/CTS Enabled .
Intercharacter Delay
A delay time can be inserted between transmitted characters. If the intercharacter
delay is disabled, then there will be no delay between characters. If the delay is
enabled, then the delay period, configured independently, specifies the number of
milliseconds that elapses between completed transmission of one character and
beginning of the transmission of the next.
* Default is
Intercharacter Delay OFF.
If enabled, the default delay time is 20 ms.

Fixed Serial Port Configuration at Reset
When enabled, the Fixed Serial Port Configuration at Reset will set the serial port
to its default configuration as soon as you reset the decoder.
*Default is
Disable At Reset .
Note: When using a laser scanner with laser connection detection enabled, do
not hold the laser scanner’s trigger during reset. If the trigger is held, the decoder will
treat the laser scanner as a wand. The decoder will not recognize a laser scanner
until it is reset by an escape sequence or by turning the decoder Off and then On.
