Zebra DS6878 Product Reference Guide

CHAPTER 8 RS-232 INTERFACE
Introduction
This chapter provides instructions for programming the cradle to interface with an RS-232 host interface. The
RS-232 interface is used to attach the scanner cradle to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other
devices with an available RS-232 port (i.e., COM port).
If the particular host is not listed in Table 8-2, set the communication parameters to match the host device.
Refer to the documentation for the host device.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (
*).
NOTE This digital scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For
system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Zebra offers different cables providing the TTL to
RS-232C conversion. Contact Support for more information.
