Getting Started

Connecting the Scanner

The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your installation. Use the appropriate instructions below to connect the scanner to the terminal, PC or other host device.

Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instructions below, proceed to the Interface Related Features section of this manual and scan the barcode to select the correct interface type.

RS-232 Serial Connection — Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the scanner to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable con- nector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.

(if needed)

For 220-230 VAC adapters, the cord must be facing down as shown in the illustration. If installed upwards, it will pose an undue strain on the socket outlet.

USB Connection — Connect the scanner to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct USB cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2.

 

USB installations may require a power connection via

 

an approved A/C Adapter as shown in Figure 1. For

 

example, this would be the case if the scanner is con-
