INSTALLATION
Stand-Alone Keyboard
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male
connector into the jack on the
Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when
the connection is made.
If the scanner is receiving
power from the host system,
skip to step #5.
3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the
power supply into the power jack on
the PowerLink cable.
Make sure the AC input
requirements of the power
supply match the AC outlet.
Connect the power supply
into an AC outlet. The outlet
should be near the equipment
and easily accessible.
4. Connect the PowerLink cable to the
keyboard port on the host system.
5. Turn on the host system.
Powering the MS5145-47 directly from the computer can sometimes
cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer.
Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port,
explaining why a scanner may work on one computer and not another.
Contact a Metrologic Customer Service Representative if you require an
external power supply.
