Scanner Installation: Powered by External Power Supply

To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.

1.Turn off the host system.

2.If using a communication cable, connect the cable to the correct port on the host device and the MCA (Metrologic Connector Adaptor). If the host device is an IBM compatible PC with a male 9-pin serial port, connect the MCA to the port.

3.Plug the scanner’s coil cable into the MCA.

4.Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. (the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.) Plug the power supply into the MCA and the AC outlet.

5.Turn on the host system.

Note: a. When the scanner first receives power, both LEDs come on together along with the beep-the green LED only flashes.

b.Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and correct configuration setting are also required for proper communication to occur.
