The scanned data is sent to the MicroSmart through theRS232C port 1 and stored to data registers. The upper 8 digits of the data are stored to data register D20 and the lower 8digits are stored to data register D21.Setting User Communication Mode in WindLDR Function Area SettingsSince this example uses the RS232C port 1, select User Protocol for Port 1 in the Function Area Settings using WindLDR.See page 10-5.Setting Communication ParametersSet the communication parameters to match those of the barcode reader. See page 10-5. For details of the communica-tion parameters of the barcode reader, see the user’s manual for the barcode reader.
