Datalogic Scanning 8500 Interface Type — continued

Interface Type — continued

To select the desired interface:

	Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type, since you can
	cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to change to
	an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections with the host
CAUTION	cable DISCONNECTED.

When an interface is selected, the scanner loads the factory configuration for

that interface as the selection is made, erasing any and all custom configura-

tion that may have previously been done.

NOTE

1.Disconnect current interface cable(s) if currently connected.

2.Scan the SWITCH bar code

3.Scan the bar code representing the appropriate interface located on the following pages. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes adjacent to and on any facing pages to ensure the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

4.Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH bar code.

	Once the correct interface has been set, it will be necessary to proceed to
	the appropriate pages in this manual that select parameters and options for
	that interface. For example, if RS-232 is selected, turn to the pages in this
NOTE	manual headed as features specific to the RS-232 interface.

5. Connect new interface cable(s).
