RS-232C Port Auxiliary Options

The RS-232C port is used either as an output RS-232C host
port or as an input auxiliary RS-232C port.
To use the RS-232C port as an auxiliary RS-232C input port:
1. Connect the auxiliary device (scale, magstripe reader,
etc.) to this port.
2. Use the programming bar codes on pages 5-57
to 5-84 to set the applicable RS-232C auxiliary
parameters.
To use the Host port and RS-232C port:
1. Connect a host device such as an OCIA terminal to the
Host port and an RS-232C device, such as a portable
terminal or scale to the RS-232C port.
2. Use the programming bar codes on pages 5-57
to 5-84 to set the applicable RS-232C auxiliary
parameters.
Connecting to two RS-232C devices:
•
Connect an RS-232C device to the Host port using
a Synapse™ Smart Cable, and another RS-232C
device, requiring different parameters (baud rate,
parity, etc.) to the RS-232C port. In this case, the
device connected to the Host port would use the
Synapse parameters provided with the cable
instructions. The device connected to the RS-232C
port would use the RS-232C Port parameters on
pages 5-57 to 5-84.
To use the RS-232C port as an output host port, see
page 5-19.
