Parts of the Scanner

Becoming familiar with the features of the TECH 10® scanner will help when operating the scanner. The following illustration and list explain the pertinent parts.

Figure 1

1.Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this shows that the unit is receiving power and the laser is on. When the red LED flashes on, the scanner has read a bar code successfully. When the red light turns off, communication to the host is complete.

2.Laser Output Window Laser light is emitted from this aperture.

3.Mil spec Connector This is a 19-pin male Mil spec connector. It is used to connect the scanner to a host device by using a communication cable with a female Mil spec connector. The communication cable may include a power transformer or it may be designed to draw power directly from the host device. The standard TECH 10 only contains one connector. If the scanner is being used with the MX001 box, then there will be two Mil spec connectors on the unit.
