Datalogic MAGELLAN 3200VSI - Connecting the Scanner

2 Magellan™ 3200VSI
Connecting the Scanner
The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compati-
ble cable for your installation. Alternatively, if your scanner receives Power Off
th
e Terminal (POT) it might be possible to connect using a cable from a previ-
ously existing installation (except for USB). If you wish to connect using an
e
xisting cable, but cannot use POT, a short adapter cable is available. Check
with your technical support representative about compatibility before connect-
ing. Use the appropriate instructions below when you’re ready to connect the
scanner to
the terminal, PC or other host device.
Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instructions
below, proceed
to the Interface Related Features section of this manual and
scan the bar code to select
the correct interface type.
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
1a. If the terminal will not support POT
(Power Off the Terminal) to supply scan-
ner power, use the approved power supply (AC
Adapter) as shown in Figure 1b.
Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable con-
nector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard
power outlet.

USB Connection — Connect the scanner to a USB port on the terminal/PC using
the correct USB cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 1.
NOTE
USB installations may require a power connection via an
approved A/C Adapter as shown in
Figure 1b or Figure 1c.
For example, this would be the case if the scanner is con-
nected along with a number of other devices to a non-pow-
ered USB hub.
IBM Connection —
Connect the scanner to the IBM port on the terminal/PC
using the correct IBM cable. Reference Figure 1.
