RS-232 Interface 6-3
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an RS-232 host. The RS-232 interface is used to connect the scanner to
point-
of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).
If the host is not listed in Table 6-2 , refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication parameters to match the
host.
The scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system
architectures
requiring RS-232C signal levels, Symbol offers different cables providing
TTL-to-RS-232C

Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 6-1 are examples
only.
The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the
same.
