Tethered Scanners
Note: Do not connect a tethered scanner cable to an MX3X USB-C or USB-H labeled endcap
port. These ports cannot power a tethered scanner.
The MX3X Scan buttons have no effect on tethered barcode scanners (connected to a serial port).
Tethered scanners read barcode scans only when the trigger on the tethered scanner is pressed.
The tethered scanner requires power on pin 9 of the MX3X serial port.
To set the MX3X to use a tethered scanner, select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Scanner |
COM1 (or 2 or 3) .
Click the " Power on Pin 9 (+5V) " checkbox for the COM port selected. The COM port that
accepts the scanner data can be configured for data rate, parity, stop bits and data bits.
