:Name:

To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to 
host): :3820:  The default factory setting for an 3820 scanner is 
3820.  This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, 
which accepts alphanumeric values.  If the name is not known, a

Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to 

scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and 
not to the scanner.

Tag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 
command group.  For example, all RS-232 configuration settings 
are identified with a Tag of 232.

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 
command within the tag group.   For example, the SubTag for the 
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
