After identifying the communication interface you will use and obtaining the suitable interface adapter cable, plug the RJ45 Phone Plug of the IT3220 or VT3060B/3080B main cable into the connector of the selected interface cable adapter. Please make sure the connector clicks into place securely.

All scanners have been preset to the “IBM PC/AT, PS/2 Keyboard Wedge” interface. If you need to change the host interface, please refer to the “Host Interface Selection” described in Chapter 3 to find your desired interface. The following paragraphs provide the installation of the most popular host interfaces.

Keyboard Wedge Interface

The keyboard wedge interface allows data transmission from the scanner to the host through the existing keyboard port as traditional keyboard input.

PC/AT, PS/2 Keyboard Wedge

For the keyboard wedge solution, the scanner must work with the existing keyboard concurrently. If you want to link the scanner to a computer keyboard port without a PC/AT or PS/2 keyboard, please select “Emulate External Keyboard.” This selection instructs the scanner to perform the power-on handshaking and routine reply between computer and keyboard.
