Baud Rate
Under RS232 connection, the engine and the Host should set
communication baud rate to the same to keep normal communication.
Baud rate is the bits transmitted per second (8 bits per bytes). The engine
and the Host must communicate at the same baud rate.
The scanner supports baud rate as the following:
9600
（Factory Default）
2400
