4 Reader Command Overview
This section is intended to introduce developers/users to the methods used to send commands to the
Reader. There are two ways to send a command to the Reader: from a Host computer, or by scanning
a barcode containing a command sequence. When sending commands from the host, there are two
formats that can be used: packetized commands and text commands.
