RS-232 Interface 9 - 3
4. The scanner automatically detects the host interface type and uses the default setting. If the default (*) does
not meet your requirements, select another RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from
RS-232 Host Types on page 9-6.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
If problems occur with the system, see Troubleshooting on page 4-3.
RS-232 Parameter Defaults
Table 9-1 lists defaults for RS-232 host parameters. Change these values in one of two ways:
• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter. The new value replaces the standard default value in
memory. To recall default parameter values, see Default Parameters on page 5-5.
• Configure the scanner using the 123Scan
2
configuration program. See Chapter 2, 123Scan and Software
Tools.
NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preference, host, symbology, and
miscellaneous default parameters.
