It is now January 2022, 2 years after the original post.
I am following the “Powerscan_9501_AR_family_prg_eng.pdf” Product Reference Guide document.
In the Message formatting section, it states: “Message Formatting is available for PM9501-AR models only.”
QUESTION: Is there a a difference between a model PM9501 and PM9501-AR? What is the AR? How can I tell which model I have?
The model on the label says “Powerscan PM9501”, The Type is DDPM910RB
The section also states “For this feature to be operational, the scanner must be set to Ignore Host Commands” What is the HOST? I would have guessed that the host is my application that is talking to the scanner. I tried to program the scanner to Ignore host commands as well as obey them, but all attempts to send message commands to the scanner had no result at all. No errors, no flickers, no beeps.
