Communication

Chapter 9:

Communication

The QC-300 can communicate with a computer over the RS232 serial port and with printers over the USB

port.

Connecting to a computer

1 Verify that the QC-300 and computer power are off.

2 Connect a computer COM port to the QC-300 RS-232

serial port using a standard straight-through serial cable

(Metronics part number 11B12176). Make sure the cable

connectors are tight, but do not overtighten the connector

screws.

3 Apply power to the computer, and then the QC-300.

The default QC-300 settings for communication over the

RS-232 serial port are shown here.

• Baud rate: 1200

• Parity: None

• Data bits: 7

• Stop bits: 1

• EOC Delay: 0

• EOL Delay: 0

4 Launch the computer application that will be used to communicate with the QC-300, and configure the

communication properties of the COM port to match those of the QC-300.
