Scanner Serial Connector (COM1)  
The serial connector, labeled “SCANNER”, (configured as COM1) is industry-standard RS-232. 
The connector includes a PC/AT standard 9–pin “D” male connector.  By default, Pin 9 is 
configured to supply +5 VDC at 0.4A (max) for an external bar code scanner.  Pin 9 may also be 
configured to provide RI.  Refer to Chapter 4, “Scanner”, section titled “Serial Port Pin 9” for 
more information on configuring Pin 9. 
If Pin 9 is powered off, please see “Technical Specifications – Connection Cable” in the following 
section for information on using a serial cable. 
If COM1 is not being used for a scanner, it can also be used for screen blanking when the vehicle 
is in motion.  Please see “Technical Specifications – Screen Blanking Cable” in the following 
section for more details.
