About Serial Scanners

You connect a serial tethered scanner to COM1 or COM3. By default, these COM ports are configured so that you can connect specific scanners without making any configuration changes. To configure the COM ports to work with other scanners, you can change the scanner model in Intermec Settings.

Note: By default, both COM ports are opened by Intermec data collection software. To connect another serial device, like a printer, you need to disable the scanner port.
