Cobalto™ CO5300 Scanner
Connect Host Interface
The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your
installation. If this is not so, contact
Technical Support.
Depending on the model, the scanner can communicate using the following interfaces:
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 2. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the
Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power supply (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.
RS-232 —
The scanner can communicate with a standard or Wincor-Nixdorf (W-N) RS-232
host.
RS-232 OPOS —
This interface is used for OPOS/UPOS/JavaPOS systems.
Keyboard Wedge Connection
The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the scanner. Connect the female to the
male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the terminal/PC.
Keyboard Wedge (KBW) —
When connected using this interface, the host interprets scanned
data as keystrokes and supports several international keyboards (for the Windows
®
environment). See
Country Mode on page 35 for a full listing.
USB Connection
Connect the scanner to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct USB cable for the
interface type you ordered.
USB —
Select to communicate either by USB OEM, USB COM STD, or USB Keyboard interface
types by scanning the appropriate interface type bar codes available in this manual. The
default interface is USB-KBD, or RS-232-STD.
