Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes.  Both the serial commands and the 
programming bar codes will program the scanner.  For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming com-
mand, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-1).  The following commands can be sent via a PC COM port using 
terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.
[option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
boldNames of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR  (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name: This command is only used with cordless devices.  It is used to specify whether you’re communicating with the base or 
the scanner.  To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to host), use :Xenon:  The default factory 
setting for a Xenon scanner is Xenon scanner.  This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, which accepts 
alphanumeric values.  If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to scanner once they are linked, changes are typically 
done to the base and not to the scanner.
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command group.  For example, all RS232 
configuration settings are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command within the tag group.   For example, the 
SubTag for the RS232 baud rate is BAD.
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied.  An exclamation point (!) performs 
the command’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.  A period (.) performs the command’s 
operation on the device’s non-volatile menu configuration table.  Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent 
changes you want saved through a power cycle.
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^What is the default value for the setting(s).
?What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
*What is the range of possible values for the setting(s).  (The device’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a 
continuous range of values.  A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)
:Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the scanner.
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of commands available for the particular 
storage table indicated by the Storage field of the command.  In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used 
because they are ignored by the device.   
						

							12 - 2
SubTag Field Usage 
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the subset of commands available that match the 
Tag field.  In this case, the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the specific command identified by the Tag and 
SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence.   Only the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be 
repeated for each command in the sequence.  If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new 
command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional command are 
issued.  If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous commands by a 
semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACKIndicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQIndicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command. 
NAKIndicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag 
combination, e.g., an entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the status character inserted directly before each 
of the punctuation marks (the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.
Examples of Query Commands
In the following examples, a bracketed notation [   ] depicts a non-displayable response.
Example:What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena*.
Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]
This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of values from 0 to 1 (off and on).  
Example:What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena^.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is 1, or on.  
Example:What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on.  
Example:What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter: cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK]. 
						

							12 - 3
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on; 
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit; 
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled; 
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters; 
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters; 
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.  
Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands.  First, the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger 
Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger Mode bar code (page 4-6), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering (page 4-7).  
Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate:  SYN T CR
Deactivate: SYN U CR
The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been 
reached (see Read Time-Out on page 4-7 for a description, and the serial command on page 12-12).
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below.  This 
resets the scanner to the custom default settings.  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.
Note: If using a cordless system, scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform 
a reset and become unlinked.  The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link.  If using an Access Point, 
the linking bar code must be scanned.  See Cordless System Operationbeginning on page 3-1 for additional information.
The charts on the following pages list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the 
programming pages).
