your serial Printer supports it. It DOES NOT apply to the Cameo and QL3 Printers.
• Settings E and F pertain to the way the RF Terminal handles illegal statements coming from the host
computer. RF Terminal software versions prior to 9.059 did not handle illegal statements the same way
as current versions. This setting is really only applicable if you had written your host program to be
compatible with RF Terminal versions prior to RFT9059.
Date & Time Setting
Set Time
The time is set using a 4-digit military hhmm format. For example, to set the time to 3:08 p.m., you would
enter 1508. To display the time during operation, press the STATUS key.
Set Date
For correct date display, the 6-digit date must be set in the date format you plan to use. By default the US
terminals use the US date format of dd/mm/yy. If you change the date format, you must re-set the date to
match the new format. For example, to set a date of January 20, 2009, you would enter 012009 (US format)
or 200109 (European format). To display the date during operation, press the STATUS key.
Date Format
US Format 0
European Format 1
• The US format of mm/dd/yy is the default setting.
• If you switch formats, you must reset the date (SET DATE) in the new format also.
Year Output
2 digit 0
4 digit 1
• By default, the RF Terminal is configured to display and transmit the year in a 2-digit format; i.e. 2009
would transmit and display as 09.
• Before you change the RF Terminal to display a 4-digit year, i.e. 2009, make sure that the software
receiving data from the RF Terminal is set up to accept a 4-digit year.
Shut Down Time
By default, if the RF Terminal is inactive (no keystrokes or scanning) for more than 5 minutes, it will
shut itself down in order to conserve batteries. This includes SIGNING OFF if appropriate. To resume
operation, you must turn the RF Terminal back on using the ON/OFF key. To change the amount of time
the RF Terminal waits before shutting down enter two digits - the default is 05 (5 minutes)- to
correspond to the length of time in minutes. For example, 01 would be 1 minute. Setting the Shut
Down Time to 00 will disable automatic shutdown.
