COM Port Descriptions
Port COM Port Designation for Applications
COM1 Use for serial port communications on the terminal. You can use a
serial port adapter or a special cable to connect this terminal to
another serial device, such as a modem, a PC, or a printer.
You can also insert the terminal into a communications dock and use
a special cable (RS-232) to connect the dock to another serial device.
For help, see the Trakker Antares TD2410 Communications Dock
Quick Reference Guide (P/N 069552).
RF (NET) Use for RF communications on the 2415. The Trakker Antares PSK
functions use NET to designate the RF network port.
You can also connect input devices to the serial port using special cables.
For help, see "Connecting an Input Device" on page 22.
Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the
laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser
beam can damage your vision.
Attention Danger: Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion d'un rayon
laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser lorsque celui-ci est en opération. Si
vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser, cela peut endommager
votre vue.
You use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. When you press the
Scan button, the scanner emits a beam of laser light that is visible on a bar
code label as you scan it. The terminal decodes the bar code label and
enters the data or command you scanned.
When you unpack the terminal, these three bar code symbologies are
enabled:
• Code 39
• Code 128
• UPC/EAN
• PDF417 (241X terminals with the integrated PDF417 scanner option
only)
If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in another symbology,
you need to enable that symbology on the terminal. For help, find the
symbology in Chapter 6, "Configuration Command Reference," in the
2400 Family system manual.
Note: The Scan button on the keypad does not activate the tethered input
device that may be connected to the terminal.
