INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM 
 
RS232, Laser Emulation, and Light Pen Emulation 
 
1.  Turn off the host system.  
 
2.  Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male 
connector into the jack on the 
scanner.  There will be an audible 
click when the connector lock 
engages. 
 
If the scanner is receiving 
power from the host system, 
skip to step #5.  
 
3.  Connect the L-shaped plug of the 
power supply into the power jack  
on the PowerLink cable.  
 
4.  Verify the AC input requirements of 
the power supply match the AC 
outlet.  Connect the power supply 
into an AC outlet.  The outlet should 
be near the equipment and easily 
accessible. 
 
5.  Connect the PowerLink cable to 
the proper port on the host system.   
 
6.  Turn on the host system. 
 
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee 
that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host 
system.  Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration 
Guide or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on changing the 
scanner’s factory default configuration.  The scanner and host system 
must use the same communication protocols.   
 
All MS95x0-00 scanners leave the factory with the Laser Emulation 
Mode enabled.  If you recall defaults while re-configuring your scanner 
the Laser Emulation Mode will no longer be enabled.  Refer to the 
MS95
x
0-00 Laser Emulation Mode section of the MetroSelect Single-
Line Configuration Guide for information on enabling the Laser 
Emulation Mode.
