Honeywell Thor VX9 Laptop User Manual


 
Connect Serial Bar Code Scanner
Refer to the documentation received with the bar code scanner for complete instructions. Read all warnings and
caution labels.
Pin 9 of COM1 provides +5V. Do not connect a serial bar code scanner to COM2 or COM4 as this may damage
the scanner, the Thor VX9 or both.
Pin 9 of COM1 must be configured to provide +5V. An LED illuminates near the COM1 connector when the +5V option is
enabled. The LED is off when RI is enabled.
Configuration of COM port power is handled via the VMT Manager option in the Control Panel. For more information consult the
Thor VX9 Reference Guide or the system administrator responsible for the configuration of the Thor VX9.
The scanner cable is attached to the COM1 port. The cable requires a nine-pin D-shell female connector for the Thor VX9.
Note: Use of a shielded cable is required to maintain emissions and susceptibility compliance.
Seat the connector firmly over the pins and turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise direction. Do not overtighten.
When you have finished using the scanner, remove it from the Thor VX9 and store the scanner in a closed container or bag.
Refer to the documentation received with the bar code scanner for complete instructions.
