This chapter describes the reader commands that you can use while operating the
terminal. Reader commands, such as Backlight On, let you perform a task on the
terminal.
Using Reader Commands
A reader command causes the terminal to perform a task. Some reader commands
temporarily override the configuration settings and some actually change the
configuration settings.
For example, you can turn the backlight on to easily view the terminal’s screen when you
are working in a dimly lit environment. You can execute reader commands by
• scanning a command from a Code 39 or Code 93 bar code label.
• pressing keys on the keypad or choosing a command from the TRAKKER Antares
2400 Menu System.
• sending a command from a device on the serial or RF network.
There are three general types of reader commands:
• Accumulate mode commands
• Operating commands
• File management commands
The reader commands are listed in alphabetical order within these three categories. You
will find the purpose, command syntax, and bar code labels for each reader command in
this chapter.
Note:
The Code 39 bar code labels in this chapter show an asterisk (*) at the beginning
and end of the human-readable interpretation to represent the start and stop codes. If
you are creating your own Code 39 bar code labels, your bar code printing utility may
automatically supply the asterisks as the start/stop code.
