RS-232 Auxiliary Port 10-3

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the RS-232 auxiliary port. This port is used to connect the Symbol LS7708 to a variety of

peripherals, such as scales, magnetic stripe readers, and other devices.

The RS-232 auxiliary port interprets a two-second timeout in data transmission as a signal that a complete

block of data has been received. Sending a carriage return also signals a complete block of data, and allows

the user to continue scanning more quickly.

Data overrun occurs when data is received at the RS-232 auxiliary port faster than the host can transmit it.

The primary scanner and auxiliary hand-held scanner ports take precedence over the RS-232 port. If large

amounts of data are sent to the RS-232 auxiliary port, abstain from scanning data on the other ports.

Asterisks (*) indicate default values for programming bar code menus.

*Baud Rate 9600 Feature/Option*Indicates Default
