HI- AND LOW ADDRESS (Bytes 4 & 5) - These bytes specify the area of
memory in the decoder that is going to be read. There are four readable areas
in the decoder’s memory (memory addresses are provided in hexadecimal):
1) Current Bar Code Data - Address 100 to 3FF (hex). The bar code data is
stored in the decoder’s host port buffer as a packet, each packet contains the
results of one read operation. The data is at address 100 (hex).
Note: Unlike the other readable areas of the decoder’s memory, the host
buffer may or may not contain data.
2) Decoder Configuration Block- Address 400 to 5FF. Refer to Appendix D
for the addresses of the configuration parameters.
3) Status/Counters- Address 600 to 6FF. Table 8.B provides the addresses of
