Character Length
The character length specifies the number of bits that will define
a character. Eight bits are recommended, since that option allows
more special characters and characters that are used exclusively in
foreign languages. Refer to the Intermec Fingerprint v10.X.X,
Programmer’s Reference Manual for more information.
7 (Characters ASCII 000 to 127 decimal)
8 (Characters ASCII 000 to 255 decimal). Default.
Parity
The parity decides how the firmware will check for transmission
errors. There are five options:
None (default)
•Even
•Odd
•Mark
•Space
Stop Bits
The number of stop bits specifies how many bits will define the
end of a character. There are two options:
•1 (default)
•2
Flow Control
RTS/CTS is a protocol in which communication is controlled
via currents through separate lines in a cable that are set either to
HIGH or LOW. By default, this option is disabled.
CTS on the Printer is connected to RTS on the PC and vice
versa. CTS HIGH from the printer indicates that the unit is
ready to receive data.
CTS LOW from the printer indicated that the receive buffer is
full (see XON/XOFF). In some computer programs, e.g.
Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal, RTS/CTS is designated
"Hardware."
