SECTION 2. CONFIGURATION COMMANDS
Configuration commands are used to setup configuration parameters in the MICRImage Reader.
A complete description of these commands follows:
SWITCH COMMANDS
These commands control internal “software” switches used to configure the MICRImage reader.
The switch commands include SWA, SWB, SWC, SWD, SWE, SWF, SWI, HW, FC, PR12, and
SA commands.
When sending configuration data for a software switch, 8 ASCII bits must always be provided
(“0”= hex 30, and “1”=hex 31). The MICRImage will execute the command but it will not reply.
For example, to execute the SWA command with configuration data, send the command as
follows:
SWA 01010101
To make a switch command permanent, follow the switch command with the SA command
(Save command) as follows:
SWA 01010101
SA
If a switch command is sent without configuration data, MICRImage will reply with the current
settings for that switch.
SWA COMMAND – HOST PORT PARAMETERS
This command controls the communication parameters for the RS-232 Host port. The
parameters for this command are listed in Table 2-1.
Note
The MICRImage includes an RS-232 auxiliary port that can be
configured in a similar manner using the SWD command.
