Connecting the Scanner

Use the appropriate instructions below to connect the scanner to the ter- minal, PC or other host device. The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your installation. The scanner cable connection is secured using the “clamshell” retainer referenced in the enlarged area of Figure 1. Fit and clamp the retainer over the cable connector as shown in the illustration, then fully seat the cable assembly into the scanner, aligning both the connector and the retainer boss with their respective openings. Secure the captive screws.

Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instruc- tions below, proceed to the Interface Related Features section of this man- ual and scan the bar code to select the correct interface type.

RS-232 Serial Connection — Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the scanner to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power sup- ply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.
