RS-232 Interface 8 - 9
Parity
A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Scan one of the following bar codes to
select the parity type according to host device requirements:
•
Odd - This sets the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an
odd number of 1 bits.
•
Even - This sets the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that the coded character contains an
even number of 1 bits.
•
None - No parity bit is required.
Stop Bits
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and
prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. Scan one of the following bar codes
to set the number of stop bits (one or two) based on the number the receiving host can accommodate.
Odd
Even
*None
*1 Stop Bit
2 Stop Bits
