Posted by Michael Renock on 12 February 2014 09:26 AM

This setup guide will assist you in getting your Motorola LS2208 to work in Savance Enterprise using a CDC Virtual Com Port or serial connection. Simply follow along and scan the barcodes on your monitor's screen when required. If you are having trouble scanning your screen, you may need to print this guide and scan from the paper instead. You can also download the Motorola LS2208 Quick Start Guide in PDF format for your reference. It contains setup information, as well as all the different configuration barcodes available for this model.

First, you need to connect the barcode scanner to a power source. Once powered, you will be able to scan.

Next, you will want to set the barcode scanner to factory defaults. In order to do this, simply scan the following barcode.

Now, the barcode scanner needs to be configured to add a carriage return after a scan. This is required in Savance Enterprise. Scan the following 3 barcodes to set this.

Now you are ready to plug the barcode scanner into the PC or POS terminal. If you are using a serial connection, no device drivers are necessary.

If you will be using a USB connection, then USB CDC Virtual COM Port drivers are required on the PC or POS terminal. Please download and install the appropriate driver from one of the links below. Here is the official Motorola CDC Driver web page from where these drivers were obtained.
