Upon completing the physical connection between the scanner 
and its host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for 
information and programming for the interface type the scanner 
is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) 
and scan the appropriate bar code to select your system’s correct 
interface type, according to your application.
For additional interfaces other than those listed in this manual,
