6.5 Example of Slave Configuration
1. Make sure the SLC is in program mode and run your communication
software.
2. Set your communications software to use 38400 Bits per second and
8 Data bits. Set Parity to None, select 1 Stop Bit and set Flow control
to None. The scanner automatically detects the baud rate you are
using by adjusting the baud rate until it receives an “*” correctly.
You may have to type the asterisk several times so the scanner can
detect the baud rate. When the scanner properly receives your “*”,
the following prompt appears:
***** Slave Configuration Activated *****
