RS-232 Peripherals

The RealScan 7883 includes two auxiliary RS-232 ports. This permits other peripheral devices to connect to the host terminal through the RealScan 7883, eliminating the need of the host terminal having additional RS-232 ports. Programming of the ports is required. The various sequences and the action taken is given below for handheld scanners. All options should be programmed because the scanner could have been previously programmed for a different option.
