Disable Character
Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader.
ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.

normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the option

e keypad in A
ppendix D, Keypad, that represent
the desired character/value in step 1 above. The second character will cause a two-beep indication.
