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.
To set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character or value.
2. Use the ASCII Chart on 
page 308 to find the hex equivalent for the desired charac-
ter/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,  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 fea-
ture.
