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
the 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
existing 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.
