    2、Chapter 2 Communication Interfaces SC400 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 12 2.2 TTL- 232 Interface Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the engine 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. The serial communication interface provided by the engine is based on TTL-level signals.
