Enable/Disable Voice Messages
When you have the voice messages feature on your scanner/scale, the
Voice Messages Enabled/Disabled parameter toggles to enable or
disable the feature. If voice messages are enabled, you hear them at the
appropriate time. If they are disabled, you hear the beep tones instead.
The Hex D tag toggles this parameter between enabled and disabled.
There is no indication, visual or otherwise, of the state of the
enable/disable condition. If you do not hear the voice messages when
you expect to hear them, toggle this parameter. If you still do not hear
them, the problem could be in the programming ROM, the speaker
chip, or elsewhere.
IBM Tag Data Format
This option is included because most IBM devices that have a select
address of 4B require the bar code data to be transmitted as ASCII
characters. (For hand-held bar code readers, see Communications
Protocol Programming Mode.) Therefore, when selecting
Communications Protocol choice 4B, NCR recommends that you set
the tag format to ASCII. Use the Hex E tag to select hex and use the
Hex F tag to select ASCII. The hex format is the default.
