NOTE

IBM Port 17 Interface Selection

Remember to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.

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 cable DISCONNECTED.

When connecting to the POS terminal, you must specify either “Scanner Only” (“Scanner/Scale Only”) or “IBM 4698” as the model number. The “Scanner Only” or “Scanner/Scale Only” setting allows for bar code label programming and sets the unit to factory defaults; the “IBM 4698” setting will allow host configuration of the unit.

The associated POS sockets are 9A and 9E.

Single cable installations require connection at the POS Terminal (host) port. The Scale Host port connection is not used for this interface.

INTERFACE TYPE = IBM PORT 17
