Changing Interfaces

To change a scanner's interface…

Hardware

If necessary, replace the scanner's interface cable to match the new host terminal's connection requirements. To disconnect the cable from the scanner, insert a .050” hex driver or bent paper clip into the CABLE RE- LEASE hole, and press down to unlock the cable connector. Reference Figure 1.

NOTE

We recommend that you disconnect power before plugging/ unplugging cables to avoid any possibility of equipment damage.

1. Verify that your scanner supports the desired interface1. The list on the following page indicates interfaces available at the time of this writing. Your scanner comes equipped from the factory with the ability to connect and communicate with at least two major interface types. For example, OCIA/RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge/ Wand Emulation are two common pairings. Contact your nearest service depot if you don't know your scanner's interface group, or need to have the scanner altered to change to another I/F group.

1Contact your dealer if your desired interface is not listed. Interface group definitions are subject to change without notice.
