Connect a Serial Scanner

Thor CV31 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
You connect a serial tethered scanner to COM1 or COM3. By default,
these COM ports are configured so that you can connect specific
scanners without making any configuration changes. To configure the
COM ports to work with other scanners, you can change the scanner
model in Intermec Settings.
Note: By default, both COM ports are opened by Intermec data collection
software. To connect another serial device, like a printer, you need to
disable the scanner port.

COM1 SR Intermec scanner (for
rugged Intermec scanners:

You also need an appropriate serial cable. For help, see the user manual
for your scanner.
By default, when you connect a tethered scanner, the scanner settings
are overwritten by the computer settings for the scanner. You can change
this setting in Intermec Settings.

a Scanner model from the list.
