Some endcap configurations contain a single serial port or dual serial ports. These ports are
labeled RS-232 and are configured either as COM1 or COM3. Tethered scanners connect to RS-
232 labeled ports on the endcap and, for the MX3X only, can connect to the RS-232 port on a
powered cradle.
The MX3X Scan buttons have no effect on tethered barcode scanners (connected to an RS-232
serial port). Tethered scanners read barcode scans only when the trigger on the tethered scanner is
pressed. The tethered scanner requires power on pin 9 of the RS232 serial port.
To set the mobile device to use a tethered scanner, select Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Scanner | COM1 (or 2 or 3).
Tap the Power on Pin 9 (+5V) checkbox for the COM port selected. The COM port that accepts
the scanner data can be configured for data rate, parity, stop bits and data bits.
Seat the tethered scanner connector firmly over the pins and turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise
direction. Do not overtighten.
