Specifying the RS232C Serial Port Settings

If you are using a barcode scanner or other device with an RS-232C serial interface, you will need to set the
serial communications in the barcode scanner and the P-touch Label Printer to be the same in order to
operate reliably. You will also need the serial adapter (optional: PA-SCA-001).
Note
Refer to the barcode scanner programming reference manual before making these settings. We
recommend starting with the barcode scanner factory settings and change the communication settings in
the P-touch Label Printer because many barcode scanners are more difficult to program. The factory
communication settings for the P-touch Label Printer are shown below.

been made, click [Cancel] or the red [x] in the upper right corner to close the Communication Settings box.
