Numeric Key: If your application accepts only keypad numeric code, use setting 01 to make the QS2500 output code as numeric-keypad presses when it reads digits. If you use setting 02, the scanner will send the three digit ACSCII number for all data using the Alt and numeric keypad key- codes. Setting 02 prevents the caps Lock from affecting scanner data. Caps Lock: By selecting Caps Lock or No Caps Lock, the QS2500 can get Caps Lock status. Power-On Simulation: All PCs check the keyboard sta

RS-232 Advanced Features Flow Control None: The communication uses only TxD and RxD signals, without regard for any hardware or software handshaking protocol. RTS/CTS: If the QS2500 wants to send the bar code data to the host com- puter, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data com- munication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host com- puter after the timeout (response delay) duration, the QS2500 will issue
