Step 3 Establish Communications
To set up the host communications, from the ESP™ main menu:
a) Select Serial Port and Configure from the pull-down menus.
b) Make the port selection from Serial Port options COM 1 through COM 8. (Usually
COM 2 for desktops and COM 1 for laptops.)
c) Click the
Auto Baud
button or select
Auto
Baud
from
Serial Port
pull down
menu.
ESP will cycle through the various baud, etc. combinations until communications are
established (look for the CONNECTED banner on your screen), you interrupt the
search by clicking the Stop button, or the cycle is completed without connecting and
a DISCONNECTED banner appears on your screen.
Allow some time for the auto baud routine to test most of the combinations. You can
watch this at the bottom of the dialog box. Once it has found it, it will change the
host’s settings to match the scanner.
The default settings for the MS-850 scanner are
9600
baud,
Even
Parity,
7
Data
Bits, and
1
Stop Bits.
