Interface Type — continued
To select the desired interface:
1. Disconnect current interface cable(s) if currently connected.
2. Scan the SWITCH bar code
3. Scan the bar code representing the appropriate interface located on
the following pages. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes adja-
cent to and on any facing pages to ensure the scanner reads only the
bar code you intend to scan.
NOTE
A new scanner may have been shipped from the factory with a Null
Interface (no interface type selected) to ensure system compatibility at
installation. In this case, the correct Interface Type programming bar
code must be scanned first before the scanner can be used with a POS
system.
NOTE
If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that
interface configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a program-
ming session. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configura-
tion items to the factory default for that interface type.)
CAUTION
Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type, since
you can cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempt-
ing to change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface
selections with the host cable DISCONNECTED.
NOTE
When an interface is selected, the scanner loads the factory configu-
ration for that interface as the selection is made, erasing any and all
custom configuration that may have previously been done.
