ACK NAK Options

This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. When

configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data properly, and sends

“NAK” when the data is in error.
Options are:

• Disable

• Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from the host

when a label is sent.

• Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/NAK when

the host sends a command.

• Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge

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.

NOTE

Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts
with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the option

Data Bits

has been set as 7 Data Bits.

1. Determine the desired character or value.
2. Use the

ASCII Chart

on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent for

the desired character/value.

3. Go to

and scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE to enter Programming Mode.

4. Scan the bar code: SELECT ACK CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alphanumeric characters from the keypad in

, that represent the desired character/value in step 1 above. The second character will

cause a two-beep indication.

6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit.
