Connecting the Dolphin 6500-USB Communication Cable

To facilitate USB communication between the Dolphin terminal and the host workstation, you may connect your unit to a host by using either the supplied power cable or by using the optional Dolphin 6500- USB Communication Cable. If you use the Communication Cable, slide the cable unit onto the bottom of the terminal lining up the terminal’s I/O connector with the cable unit’s connector.
