Intermec EasyCoder 501 – Service Manual Ed. 7
RS-232 (V24) is the most common interface for serial commu-
nication with computers over short distances. The transmission
can only take place between one transmitter and one receiver.
The most simple form of two-way communication only requires a
3-wire cable. The maximum transmission distance is about 10 to
15 metres (33 to 49 ft.) and the maximum transmission speed is
19,200 baud (38,400 on optional interface boards).
