Connect MP6000 to RS-232 Host
To connect the MP6000 to an RS-232 host:
1.
Connect the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the POS interface port on the MP6000.
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 MP6000.
4.
Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code (see RS-232 Host Types on page 2-20 ).
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 bar codes in the MP6000 Bar Code
Programming Guide , p/n 72E-172633-xx.
MP6000 with a Dual Cable Scanner/Scale
Use the RS-232 interface to connect the MP6000 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, and
CBA-R52-S16ZAR) to connect the MP6000 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 MP6000 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
MP6000. 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 1-10 ) on the
MP6000. 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 MP6000.
4.
Select the RS-232 scanner host type by scanning the appropriate bar code (see RS-232 Host Types on
page 2-20 ). 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. To modify any other parameter options,
scan the appropriate bar codes in the
MP6000 Bar Code Programming Guide , p/n 72E-172633-xx.
5.
The protocol on this Dual Cable Scanner/Scale port is SASI.
6.
Select the device port configuration by scanning the appropriate bar code (refer to the MP6000 Bar Code
Programming Guide for RS-232 device port configuration).
7.
Cycle power on the MP6000.
