Zebra DS8108 User Manual

6 - 2 DS8108 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the baud rate to 19,200, scan
the Baud Rate 19,200 bar code under Baud Rate on page 6-8. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the
LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See the parameter descriptions for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.
Connecting an RS-232 Interface
Connect the scanner directly to the host computer.
Figure 6-1 RS-232 Connection
1. Attach the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner. See
Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3.
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.
3. If required, connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable. Plug the power
supply into an appropriate outlet.

NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors can be different than those illustrated in
Figure 6-1, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same.
