RS-232 Direct Connection

1. Attach the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner

cradle.(See Connecting the Cradle on page 1-4 .

2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cabl e to the serial port on the host.

3. Connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable, then plug the power

supply to an appropriate outlet, or connect an external power supply to the cradle.

4. Ensure that all connections are secure.

5. Pair the scanner to the cradle by scanning the bar code on the cradle.

6. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from the RS-232 Host Types section on

Interface Cable

NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration . The connectors illustrated in Figure 6-1 are examples

only. The co nnectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner cradle

remain the same.

Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the scanner may not recognize the new host.
