Page 23 Setting Up the Reader Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction cookware. Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the bat- CAUTION tery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Page 24: Replacing The Battery Pack
Replacing the Battery Pack Before proceeding, read “Battery Safety” on the preceding pages. Datalogic recom- mends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum perfor- mance. NOTE 1. Using a coin or screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw located on the bot- tom of the scanner handle until the battery pack is disengaged.

Page 288: Parameters
RS-232 Parameters Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one char- acter and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
Page 289: Ack Character
RS-232 Parameters ACK Character This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK character. 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.
Page 290: Nak Character
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. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these char- acters.
Page 291: Ack Nak Timeout Value
RS-232 Parameters ACK NAK Timeout Value This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout.
Page 292: Ack Nak Retry Count
ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmis- sion due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries.
Page 293: Disable Character
RS-232 Parameters 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.
Page 294: Enable Character
Enable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable 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.
