Chapter 7 RS-232 Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an RS-232 host. Use the RS-232 interface 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 your host does not appear in

Table 7-2

, 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 values.

NOTE

T

he digital 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
TTL-to-RS-232C conversion. Contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support for more information.
