NAK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK character. ASCII 
characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
NOTE
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host 
commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit 
data is not recognized when the option 
Stop Bits
 has been set as 7 
Data Bits.
To set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character or value.
2. Use the 
ASCII Chart
 on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent for 
the desired character/value.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT NAK CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alpha-numeric
 characters from the keypad in 
Appendix D, Key-
pad
, that represent the desired character/value determined above. The second character 
will cause a two-beep indication.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE 
bar code to exit Programming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below
 for examples of how to set this feature.
