HANDHELD PERIPHERIAL PORT SPEED
Since the communication speed of handheld
scanners vary greatly, it is necessary to select a
speed that tells Magellan how long to wait to
receive a complete barcode data. This selection
process is rather unscientific (trial and error) since
industry standards do not exist. We have included
references for known and tested models of other
manufacturers handheld scanners, but these should
be considerer as guidelines since newer and older
models from the same manufacturer may be
different.
The selectable options are named speeds five
through nine with five being used for scanners that
communicate at a slow rate and nine for scanners
that communicate at a faster rate.
