Scanner Specifications

Any scanner connected to an XL200 series controller must conform to the following communication

specifications:



Baud Rate: 9600



Stop Bits: 1



Parity: None



Data Bits: 8



Suffix: None (some scanners append a carriage return at the end of every scan by default)

DB9 Port

The DB9 port on the top of the XL200 controller has three uses:



Scanner port



Debug port



Flash memory port

DB9 Port Pinout

RS232 TX

RS232 RX

GND

RS232 CTS

RS232 RTS

Pin 7

Pin 7 of the DB9 port is the Clear-to-Send input on the controller.

A pull up resistor on that input keeps it high. In some RS232 applications, this input is toggled by the

outside device's Request-to-Send (called handshaking).

The XL200 controller does no handshaking, with either hardware or software, so it doesn't use pin 7

when communicating with other devices. However, a laptop connected to that port usually pulls pin 7

"low," which informs the controller to set up the port for a debug/flash.
