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). Check with your technical support
r
epresentative about compatibility before connecting. 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
1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scan-
ner power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter).
