2.If the PC is on, exit your application and turn the PC off.

3.Disconnect the keyboard from the PC. Plug the communication cable to the PC and the keyboard. Connect the 25-pin D-type connector on the scanner’s head cable to the communication cable. (Refer to Figure 1)

4.Check the AC input requirements of the transformer to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. (A socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.)

Note: Once the scanner is connected to the PC, the PC can be turned on and will operate normally even if the scanner’s transformer is not plugged in. However, bar codes will not be read until power is applied to the scanner.

When the scanner first receives power, the LEDs will flash and the scanner will beep once. After the scanner performs this start up sequence, the green LED will remain on for a specified time indicating the laser is on.
