AlphaStep 200
Settings and Cables: The serial port interface for the AlphaStep 200 is wired as DCE, so a "standard" serial cable will work fine. The AlphaStep can transmit at a variety of speeds and settings, which can be adjusted from the home screen (see the AlphaStep 200 manual for details). NOTE: Many AlphaSteps have had the serial transmit function disabled in order to eliminate a screen message that appears when the machine is started. If you do not see a message on the screen that says: "Press Enter to enable Datalink" (or something similar), and the serial port does not appear to transmit data, you should investigate this possibility. The solution is a jumper setting on the CPU board; contact your qualified AlphaStep service center for details.
Transmitting Data: Set up your terminal program and make sure it is ready to receive data. After a scan has been taken, change the print setting from "Printer" to "Send" (see the AlphaStep 200 manual), and then push the PRINT key to transmit the data.
