Terminal Specific RS‑232
RS-232 hosts use their own parameter default settings. These default settings are shown in the following tables.
Note
If the host used is not included in the tables, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communications parameters to match the host.
| Parameter | ICL | Fujitsu | Wincor‑Nixdorf Mode A | Wincor‑Nixdorf Mode B/OPOS/JPOS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baud Rate | 9600 | 9600 | 9600 | 9600 |
| Parity | Even | None | Odd | Odd |
| Stop Bit Select | One | One | One | One |
| ASCII Format | 8‑bit | 8‑bit | 8‑bit | 8‑bit |
| Hardware Handshaking | RTS/CTS Option 3 | None | RTS/CTS Option 3 | RTS/CTS Option 3 |
| Software Handshaking | None | None | None | None |
| Serial Response Timeout | 9.9 seconds | 2 seconds | None | None |
| RTS Line State | High | Low | Low | Low = No data to send |
| Beep On <BEL> | Disable | Disable | Disable | Disable |
| Transmit Code ID | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Data Transmission Format | Data/Suffix | Data/Suffix | Data/Suffix | Data/Suffix |
| Prefix | None | None | None | None |
| Suffix | CR (1013) | CR (1013) | CR (1013) | CR (1013) |
Note
Take note of the following:
- In the Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is high, scanning is enabled.
- If Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B is scanned without connecting the digital scanner to the proper host, it may appear unable to scan. If this happens, scan a different RS‑232 host type within 5 seconds of cycling power to the digital scanner.

Note
The CUTE host disables all parameter scanning, including Set Defaults. If you inadvertently select CUTE, scan Enable Parameter Bar Code Scanning (refer to Parameter Bar Code Scanning (Parameter #236, SSI #ECh)), and then change the host selection.
