Chapter 8 RS-232 Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the device with an RS-232 host. Use the RS-232 i nterface to connect the
device to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an av ailable RS-232 port (e.g., com port).
If your host does not appear in Table 8-2, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication
parameters to match the host.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default val ues.
NOTE The device 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 TTL-to-RS-232C
conversion. Contact Motorola Solutions Support for more information.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.
