INTRODUCTION  (CONT.) 
• HOW IS THE MX009 CONFIGURED FOR USB SERIAL EMULATION?
This guide contains the configuration bar codes necessary to ensure that the 
scanner communicates properly with the MX009.  The scanner 
communicates using RS232 protocol.  The default (RS232) settings of the 
scanner are as follows: 
• For Non-PowerLink Scanners 
9600 baud, 7 data bits, 2 stop bits and space parity   
• For PowerLink Scanners 
9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bits and no parity 
In addition, the scanner uses ACK/NAK and XON/XOFF software 
handshaking, and the data transmission ends with both carriage return and 
line feed suffixes. 
NOTE #2
When using USB Serial, special prefixes are not required.
