    MK-5500 2D BARCODER READER features fast scanning and decoding accuracy. Barcodes rotated at any angle can still be read with ease. When scanning a barcode, simply center the aiming beam or pattern projected by the MK-5500 2D BARCODER READER over the barcode. 1.3 Factory Defaults Scanning the following barcode can restore the engine to the factory defaults.

  • Page 5: Communication Interfaces

    2. Communication Interfaces The MK-5500 2D BARCODER READER provides a TTL-232 interface and a USB interface to communicate with the host device. The host device can receive scanned data and send commands to control the engine or to access/alter the configuration information of the engine via the TTL-232 or USB interface.

  • Page 6: Ttl-232 Interface

    2.2 TTL-232 Interface Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the MK-5500 to a host device (like PC, POS). However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set communication parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.

  • Page 7: Baud Rate

    2.3 Baud Rate Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the baud rate to match the Host requirements. 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200...
