Pin Assignments for the MCA951 (DEC9S)
Located on the MCA is a 9-pin female D-type connector used to connect the
MCA to the host device. The output signals on the 9-pin host end of the MCA
are dependent upon which version of the scanner that is being used. The
following is a list of the pin assignments for the different versions:
Version “9” (OCIA) Version “11” (46XX)

*When the host supplies power to the scanner, this is the pin assignment for
the +5VDC for the scanner. If, in the application, the host device will supply
the power necessary for the scanner, reposition an internal jumper within the
MCA and plug the 4 position ground jumper to the power supply connector for
FCC and ESD purposes. (Refer to Scanner Installation: Powered by
External Power Supply page 5).
