Intermec 2430 User Guide

A reader command causes the terminal to perform a task. Some reader 
commands temporarily override the configuration settings and some 
actually change the configuration settings. For example, you can reset the 
terminal to the default configuration or change the configuration. 

 

Note: Not all reader commands are supported in the Reader Command 
Menu on the terminal. 

You can execute reader commands by: 

•  scanning a command from a Code 39 or Code 93 bar code label. 

•  pressing keys on the keypad or choosing a command from the 

TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. 

•  sending a command from a device on the serial, Ethernet, or RF 

network. 

There are three general types of reader commands: 

•  Accumulate mode commands 

• Operating commands 

•  File management commands 

The accumulate mode commands are described in “Using Accumulate 
Mode” on page 97. The operating and file management commands are 
listed alphabetically by command name. For a list of all commands sorted 
by category, use the table “Reader Commands Listed by Category” on 
page 97. 

 

Note: The Code 39 bar code labels in this chapter show an asterisk (*) at 
the beginning and end of the human-readable interpretation to represent 
the start and stop codes. If you are creating your own Code 39 bar code 
labels, your bar code printing utility may automatically supply the asterisks 
as the start/stop code. 

This section lists the configuration commands in alphabetical order. Use 
these lists to find accumulate mode, operating, and file management 
commands. 

Not all reader commands apply to all terminals. Use the following tables to 
determine which commands are supported on your Trakker Antares
