Introduction
This chapter provides information on setting up the scanner with a USB host. The scanner attaches directly to a USB host computer.
If there are no peripherals included in the configuration and the host cable is less than 8.5’ long, the host can power the scanner
through the interface cable. If the configuration includes peripherals and/or the host cable is more than 8.5’ long, an external power
supply is necessary.
