 Default = Control + X Mode Off.
Numeric Keypad Mode: Sends numeric characters as if entered from a numeric keypad.  Default = Off.
Inter-Scan Code Delay
When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or held down, the keyboard sends a packet of infor-
mation known as a “scan code” to your computer.  This selection allows you to adjust the delay between scan codes.  Set 
the length (in milliseconds) for a delay by scanning the bar code below, then setting the delay (from 1-30) by scanning digits 
from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.  Default = 0 (800 µs).

 Break Character
When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or held down, the keyboard sends a packet of infor-
mation known as a “scan code” to your computer.  There are two different types of scan codes: “make codes” and “break 
codes.”  A make code is sent when a key is pressed or held down.  A break code is sent when a key is released.  The fol-
lowing selections allow you to suppress or transmit the F0 character sequence of the break code.  Default = Transmit.
Keyboard Wedge Defaults
If you want the custom keyboard wedge default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Keyboard Wedge Defaults bar 
code below.  This resets the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-6).  If there are 
no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings.  Any settings that have not been specified 
through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

RS232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity
Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character.  If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 
through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits.  For applications that require use of the full ASCII set, 
select 8 data bits per character.  Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2.  Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.
Default = None.
7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even
7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None
7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Odd

RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device.      
RTS/CTS Off:  RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used, but RTS is still active.
RTS/CTS Off, RTS Inactive:  RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used and RTS is inactive.
Flow Control, No Timeout:  The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be 
asserted by the host.
Character-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send, and will wait 
indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host
Two-Direction Flow Control:  The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit.  The host asserts CTS 
when it is OK for the device to transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout:  The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 
Timeout on page 2-26) for CTS to be asserted by the host.  If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device 
transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.  
Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send and waits for a 
delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-26) for CTS to be asserted by the host.  If the delay time expires and CTS is not 
asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume. 
Default = RTS/CTS Off, RTS Inactive (Voyager 1200g)
RTS/CTS Off (Voyager 1202g/1202g-BF)

RS232 Timeout
When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the delay you want to wait for CTS from the host.  
Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-65535 milli-
seconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.  Default = 1000 ms (1 second).
XON/XOFF
With XON/XOFF On, standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data or to stop 
sending data.  When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops.  To resume 
transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11).  Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF 
was sent.  Default = XON/XOFF Off.

ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the 
host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes.  If NAK is 
received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again.  Turn on the ACK/NAK 
protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below.  To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off.  Default = ACK/NAK 
Off.
Communication Timeout
This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for the host ACK/NAK response.  Scan the bar code below, 
then set the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.   
Default = 2000 ms.
Timeout Retries
This setting limits the number of Communication Timeout retries.  If the Timeout Retries is set to 0, the transmission is 
terminated after the initial Communication Timeout.  Scan the bar code below, then set the number of retries (from 0-
255) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. (5 is the recommended setting.)  Default = 
0.
Communication Timeout Beeper
This selection programs the scanner to issue an error beep when a communication timeout has occurred.  The error 
beep sound is programmed using Number of Beeps – Error (page 5-3).  Default = On.

NAK Retries
This selection limits the number of NAK retries that can occur in ACK/NAK mode.  Scan the bar code below, then set the 
number of retries (from 0-255) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. (5 is the recom-
mended setting.)  Default = 0, or disabled.
Support BEL/CAN in ACK/NAK
This protocol responds to  and  commands when in ACK/NAK mode.  The scanner sounds an error tone 
when a  command is sent from the host.   terminates the transmission.  Default = BEL/CAN Off.
RS232 Defaults
If you want the custom RS232 default settings restored to your scanner, scan the RS232 Defaults bar code below.  This 
resets the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-6).  If there are no custom 
defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings.  Any settings that have not been specified through the cus-
tom defaults will be restored to the factory default settings.

Block Check Character
When this selection is set to Tr a n s m i t, the NCR Block Check Character (BCC) is expected with incoming messages and 
transmitted with outgoing messages.  Default = Transmit.
NCR Prefix
This selection allows you to program an NCR-specific prefix.  Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 
1252), page A-2 to find the hex equivalent for the characters you want for the NCR prefix (typically, 02 for STX).  Scan the 
bar code below, then set the hex number (from 0-FF) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.  
Default = 0.
NCR Suffix
This selection allows you to program an NCR-specific suffix.  Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page 
A-2 to find the hex equivalent for the characters you want for the NCR suffix (typically, 03 for ETX).  Scan the bar code 
below, then set the hex number (from 0-FF) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.  Default 
= 0D.
NCR Prefix/Suffix
When set to Tr a n s m i t, both the NCR prefix and suffix are transmitted with bar codes.  Usually, prefixes and suffixes are 
programmed using the Data Editing selections (see Data Editingbeginning on page 6-1), however, the following commands 
override any other prefix/suffix settings.  Default = Don’t Transmit.
* Transmit
Don’t Transmit
NCR Prefix
NCR Suffix

NCR NOF (Not-on-File) Error
A scanner receives an NOF (Not on File) command from the POS whenever it cannot cross-reference the bar code to a 
price parameter.  When set to On, the error tone sounds (set via Number of Beeps – Error, page 5-3) for an NOF, and  dis-
ables the scanner while the cashier looks up the price manually.  When set to Off, no sound is emitted for an NOF.  Default 
= Off.
Scanner to Bioptic Communication
The following settings are used to set up communication between Honeywell scanners and bioptic scanners.  
Note: The scanner’s baud rate must be set to 38400 and the RS232 Timeout must be set to 3000 in order to communicate with 
a bioptic scanner.  See  RS232 Modifiers on page 2-23, and RS232 Timeouton page 2-26 for further information.
Scanner-Bioptic Packet Mode
Packet Mode On must be scanned to set the scanner’s format so it is compatible with a bioptic scanner.  Default = Packet 
Mode Off.
ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the 
host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes.  If NAK is 
received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again.  Turn on the ACK/NAK 
protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below.  To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off.  Default = ACK/NAK 
Off.
