Changing the Communication Module in DataMan 8700 Corded Reader
The communication modularity of the DataMan 8700 reader allows using USB, Ethernet and RS-232 slide-in communication
type conversion kits. See the list of serial slide-ins in Miscellaneous Accessories on page 8. To change the communication
conversion kit, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the four screws located on the end cap assembly at the base of the reader using a Hex 2.0 mm screwdriver.
Note: Save the screws for later use.
2. Push in the locking pin with the tip of a screwdriver, or with a similar pointy instrument, then twist the end cap.
