Datalogic Scanning DS4600A User Manual

INSTALLATION 

 
The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the 
input/output connector of the DS4600A. 
 
The main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, 
etc.) are selected via software either using the WinHost utility program or Host 
Mode programming. For more details refer to the section "Main Interface Menu" 
in the WinHost Help On Line. 
 
Details regarding the connections and use of the main interface selection are given in 
the next paragraphs. 
 
 

 
The serial interface is used in this case for point-to-point connections; it handles 
communication with the host computer and allows both transmission of code data 
and the configuration of the scanner. This is the default interface. 
 
The following pins of the 25-pin connector are used for RS232 interface connection:
