Motorola DIGITAL DS6708 - Manual (Page 99)

Chapter 7 RS-232 Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an RS-232 host. Use the RS-232 interface to connect
the digital scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g.,
com port).
If your host does not appear in Table 7-2 , refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication
parameters to match the host.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (

) indicate default values.
NOTE T he digital scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For
system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Motorola offers different cables providing
TTL-to-RS-232C conversion. Contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support for more information.
