RS-232 Interface 7-3

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an RS-232 host. The RS-232 interface is used to connect the digital

scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).

If the host is not listed in Table 7-2, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication parameters to match the host.

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

system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Symbol offers different cables providing TTL-to-RS-

232C conversion. Contact the Symbol Support Center for more information.

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

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 the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not

merging.
