Installation procedures:

1)Power off the terminal and unplug the communication cable at terminal side.

2)Install the interface cable as shown in Figure 3. The “Y” cable provided in Figure 3 is for terminals with female connector on communication port. If there is a male connector on your terminal, you need a converter to change that male to female and another converter to change the female to male on host connector.

3)When the scanner is powered, a long beep sound indicates that the scanner is ready to use.
