Connecting a Barcode Scanner 5
We recommend you use a high quality reliable barcode scanner and you check the barcode scanner
specifications before selecting a model.
Barcode scanner connection methods
RS232C serial interface.
Note
When using the RS232C serial interface, you may also need the RJ25 to DB9M serial adapter (optional:
PA-SCA-001).
Recommended barcode scanner selection criteria
• Programmable models with battery or external AC adapter
The communication settings for the P-touch Label Printer are listed below:
Note
• For P-touch Template mode, templates must first be downloaded from a computer to the P-touch Label
Printer using P-touch Transfer Manager. See How to Use P-touch Transfer Manager and P-touch Library
on page 70 for more information.
• The barcode scanner should be programmed to use the English keyboard. For beginners, the barcode
scanner should be programmed to scan data with no prefix or suffix characters. For advanced users, the
prefix and/or suffix characters can be used as commands to the P-touch Label Printer to make a P-touch
Template mode solution easier to use.
• When scanning barcodes with encoded characters, we recommend using a RS232C serial interface
barcode scanner model.
• Contact the manufacturer for more information on how to use and program that barcode scanner model.
