8–Data Outputs
Symbol Output
Note: Symbol Output relates to data and should not to be confused with
Discrete Outputs listed in the Chapter 8, “Data Outputs” which describe output
states and functions.
Symbol Output Status
Note: If set to Match or Mismatch, Symbol Output Status will not take effect
unless Matchcode Type is enabled and a master symbol is loaded into memory.
Disabled
Match
Definition: Defines the conditions under which decoded symbols are transmitted to
the host.
Usage: Useful when the host needs bar code data only under certain conditions.
Serial Cmd: <K705,symbol output status,when to output>
Default: Good Read
Options: 0 = Disabled
1 = Match
2 = Mismatch
3 = Good Read
Definition: When set to Disabled, the scanner will not transmit any data that is
generated during a read cycle (symbols, noreads, etc.).
Usage: It is useful when an application only needs to use the discrete outputs
and can allow the scanner to do the decision-making. When Disabled,
the host does not need the symbol data and the communication lines
are used only for setup and status checks.
Definition: When set to Match, the scanner transmits symbol data whenever a
symbol matches a master symbol. However, if Matchcode Type is Dis-
abled, it transmits on any good read.
Note: A noread can still be transmitted if Enabled.
