Connecting to an RS-232 Host
To connect the MP70XX to an RS-232 host:
1. Connect the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the POS interface port on the MP70XX.
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.
3. Connect a 12V power supply directly to the MP70XX.
4. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate barcode (see 
RS-232 Host Types on page 2-21). If 
your host does not appear in the terminal specific tables, refer to the documentation for the host device to set 
communication parameters to match the host.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in the MP7000 Scanner Scale Barcode 
Programming Guide (p/n MN-002912-xx).
Models with a Dual Cable Scanner/Scale
Use the RS-232 interface to connect the MP70XX to POS devices, host computers, or other devices with an 
available RS-232 port (e.g., com port). Then use a second RS-232 cable (p/n CBA-R51-S16ZAR to connect the 
MP70XX Dual Cable Scanner/Scale AUX port to a scale-only port on the POS device.
The Dual Cable Scanner/Scale interface supports the industry standard SASI scale-only protocol, and 
communicates with a POS using a 9600 baud rate, 7 data bits, and even parity.
To set up the MP70XX and Dual Cable Scanner/Scale:
1. Attach the RJ-45 modular connector of the RS-232 scanner interface cable to the POS port on the MP70XX. 
Connect the other end of the RS-232 scanner interface cable to the serial scanner port on the host.
2. Attach the RJ-45 end of the RS-232 slave interface cable to AUX 2 (see 
Figure 1-3 on page 1-8) on the 
MP70XX. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the scale-only port on the host.
3. Connect the power supply directly to the MP70XX.
