Routing Cables
The scanner case has several channels to route the outgoing cables so that they are organized and don’t hinder the scanner’s
placement (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-3). After placing the cable connectors in the appropriate scanner ports, route the cables
through the nearest channel.
For a cable with a Y-connector (containing both power and interface connectors):
1. Connect the power and interface cables to the appropriate ports.
2. Route the cables according to the appropriate diagram in Figure 1-4.

Removing the Host Interface Cable

To remove the host interface cable:
1. Unplug the installed cable’s modular connector by depressing the connector clip and gently pulling back. The two small holes
on the back of the scanner case provide access to the connector clips. (See Figure 1-5.)
2. Follow the steps for Connecting the Host and Peripheral Cables on page 1-6 to connect a new cable.
