Disable Character
Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader.
ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or 
host commands conflicts with normal operation of these char-
acters. 8-bit data is not rec
ognized when the option 
Data Bits
has been set as 7 Data Bits.
To set the value:
1. Determine the desired character or value. A setting of 0xFF indicates 
the
 Disable Character is not used (not available).
2. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of th
is manual to find the 
hex equivalent for the desired character/value.
3. Go to page 55 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PR
OGRAMMING MODE bar code 
to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT DISABLE CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alphanumeric
 characters from the keypad in 
Appendix D, Keypad, that represent the desired character/value in step 
1 above. The second character will cause a two-beep indication.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar cod
e to exit Program-
ming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 30 for some examples of how to
