Connecting an Input Device

1.Use the appropriate interface cable to attach an input device to the input device connector on the connector module. For a list of supported input devices and cables, see “Input Devices and Cables” in Appendix A.

2.Configure the Scanner Selection command and select the input device that is connected to the terminal. For help, see “Scanner Selection” in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.

Note: You must configure the Scanner Selection command. If this command is not defined for the appropriate input device, the scanner trigger on the input device may activate the integrated scanner on the terminal.

Scanning Options

After you connect an input device to the 243X, you can modify the following scanner command options to meet your needs:

Decode Security

Scanner Selection

Scan Ahead

Scanner Timeout

Scanner Mode

Scanner Trigger

Scanner Redundancy

For more information about these commands, see Chapter 6, “Configuration Command Reference,” in the 2400 Family system manual.

Connecting to a Serial Device or Network

You can physically connect the 243X to a serial device, such as a host computer or printer, through the serial/power connector using a serial adapter cable. If you have a serial connector module, you can use either the serial/power connector or the input device connector to connect to a serial device.
