SCANNER INSTALLATION
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the
cable into the 10-pin socket on the
scanner. There will be an audible
click when the connector lock
engages.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into
the host's keyboard port
If the scanner is receiving power from the
host system, skip to step #6.
4. Plug the power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC in input
requirements of the power
supply to verify the voltage
matches the AC outlet.
The outlet must be located
near the equipment and be
easily accessible.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. Turn on the host device.
The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to set of default
conditions. Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not
guarantee that the scanned information will be communicated properly to the
host device. The scanner and host device must use the same communication
protocol. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or the
help files provided with MetroSet2 for instructions on changing the scanner’s
factory default configuration.
Powering the MS9590-47 or the MS9591-47 directly from the host device may
cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the host device. Not all
host devices supply the same current through the keyboard port. Contact a
Metrologic, customer service representative for information on available external
power supplies.
See caution on page 6.
