RS-232 Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an RS-232 host. The scanner uses the RS-232 interface to
connect to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).
The scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 19 on page 271 (also see Parameter Defaults for all defaults).
If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
If your host does not appear in Table 20, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication
parameters to match the host.
Setting Parameters
To set feature values, scan a single barcode or a short barcode sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile
memory and are preserved even when the scanner powers down.
To return all features to default values, scan Set Factory Defaults on page 59. Throughout the programming
barcode menus, asterisks (
*) indicate default values.
NOTE: The scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system
architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Zebra offers different cables providing TTL-to-RS-232C
conversion. Contact support for more information.
NOTE: Most computer monitors allow scanning barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen,
be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode clearly, and bars and/or
spaces do not merge.
