Motorola LS3578 Chapter 7 RS-232 Interface

Chapter 7 RS-232 Interface

Introduction

This chapter provides instructions for progra mming the scanner to interfa ce with an RS-232 host interface. The

RS-232 interface is used to attach the cradle to point-of-sale devices, host compu ters, or other devices with an

available RS-232 por t (i .e., COM port).

If the particular host is not l isted in Table 7-2, set the communication p arameters to match the host device. Refer to

the documentation for the host device.

Throughout the bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

NOTE This scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system

architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Motorola offers different cables providing the TTL to

RS-232C conversion. Contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support for more informa tion.
