Comm Section

The serial port settings in the Comm section determine the interaction between ScanWedge and the serial
port.
Comm Section Description
Key
Enable Enables (or disables) ScanWedge to
receive and interpret data from the
serial port.
AutoConnect Enables or disables the auto-
connection between ScanWedge
and the serial port.
Port Specifies the serial port to use to
connect to ScanWedge.
Note: This setting is ignored for Port 4.
FlowControl Specifies the flow control method to
use–software only, hardware only, or
software and hardware.
Note: This setting is ignored for Port 4.
BaudRate Specifies the baud rate for the serial
port.
Note: This setting is ignored for Port 4.
Parity Specified the parity for the connection.
Note: This setting is ignored for Port 4.
DataBits Specifies the number of bits per byte to
use.
Note: This setting is ignored for Port 4.
StopBits Specified the number of stop bits to
use.
Note: This setting is ignored for Port 4.

Default Available Values
Value
0 0=Disabled; no data is received
1=Enabled; ScanWedge receives data
from the serial port (specified in the
Port key) as keystrokes to the
foreground application.
0 0=Disabled; ScanWedge opens the
serial port immediately at startup and
doesn't close until ScanWedge is
closed. This is the recommended
setting when the serial port is port 2
or 3.
1=Enabled; ScanWedge connects to the
serial port when a power source is
detected and disconnects when the
power source is removed/not
detected.
7900=1 The use of port 4/6 is not encouraged.
9500=1 See Dolphin 7900/9500 Port Tables
on page 5-8.
4 1=Software (Xon-Xoff)
2=Hardware
3=Hardware and software
4=No flow control
38400 X=The appropriate baud rate.
0 0=No parity
1=Odd parity
2=Even parity
3=Mark parity
4=Space parity
8 X=Number of bits per byte
0 0=1 stop bit
1=1.5 stop bits
2=2 stop bits
