Character Activation Mode
You may use a character sent from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning. When the activation character is received,
the scanner continues scanning until either the Character Activation Laser Timeout (page 3-10), the deactivation character is
received (see Deactivation Character on page 3-11), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code to use char-
acter activation, then use Activation Character (following) to select the character you will send from the host to start scanning.
Default = Off.
Activation Character
This sets the character used to trigger scanning when using Character Activation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion Chart
(Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning. Scan
the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII
character. Scan Save to finish.
Character Activation Laser Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the laser remains on and attempting to decode bar codes when using Character
Activation Mode. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting the timeout
(from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 5000 ms.
Character Deactivation Mode
If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning, you can also send a deactivation character
to stop scanning. Scan the following On bar code to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character (following) to
select the character you will send from the host to terminate scanning. Default = Off.
