Turn on the host device.

 

When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will toggle on and off then the scanner will beep once.

Powering the 7180 directly from the host device can sometimes cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port. For this reason, Honeywell recommends using an external power supply. For additional information contact a customer service representative.
