Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the RS-232 auxiliary port. This port is used to connect the 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.
