While you cannot configure the scanner, you can configure communications with a
serial decoded scanner using the options in this tab.
Use these settings to ensure that the communication ports on the WORKABOUT
PRO match the settings of the serial devices to which they are connected. If the
settings do not match exactly, the devices may not function. Note that some devices
can auto-detect serial port settings (such as baud rate), and in this case the
WORKABOUT PRO will dictate the settings. Baud rates often have a direct impact
on performance – they should be set as high as possible while still ensuring reliable
communication.
Note: The COM numbers are assigned in Start>Settings>System>COM
Port Manager.
