IBM–485 / IBM–USB Tag Data Format
This option is included because most IBM devices that have a select address of 4B require the
bar code data to be transmitted as ASCII characters. Therefore, when selecting
Communications Protocol choice 4 or B, NCR recommends that the tag format be set to
ASCII. For handheld bar code readers, refer to the “Communications Protocol” section earlier
in this chapter.
