Connecting to an RS-232 Host

Connecting to an RS-232 Host

Connect the MP72 to an RS-232 host.
  1. Connect the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the POS interface port on the MP72.
  2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.
  3. Connect a 12V power supply directly to the MP72.
  4. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate barcode (see RS-232 Host Types). If your host does not appear in the terminal specific tables, refer to the host documentation to set communication parameters to match the host.
  5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in the MP72 Scanner Scale Barcode Programming Guide.
