2. Route & Connect Cables
2.1 Route the Cables
Considerations when routing the power and interface cables for the scanner
and scanner-scale are:
• Ensure that cables are not pinched, kinked or pierced.
• Do not route interface cables in close proximity to electrical motors or
other sources of electromagnetic interference.
• Cables can drop directly from their connectors on the scanner, or, alterna-
tively, can be routed along the scanner’s side to the back (see Figure 17).
Do not plug the AC power cord into the outlet at this time. It is a good practice
to always connect the power cable to the scanner first before plugging it into
the AC receptacle.
Figure 17 illustrates the basic cable routing scheme.
