Printer / PC Serial Connector (COM3)
Power the VX7 off before attaching a cable to any port (serial, keyboard, Ethernet/USB, etc.).
The serial connector, labeled “COM2/3”, is industry-standard RS-232. The connector includes a PC/AT standard 9–pin “D”
male connector.
By default, Pin 9 provides RI. Pin 9 may also be configured to supply +5 VDC at 0.4A (max) for an external bar code scanner.
If COM3 is not being used for a scanner, it can also be used for screen blanking when the vehicle is in motion.
