INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM 
 
Stand-Alone Keyboard 
 
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 connection is made. 
 
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 keyboard port on the host 
system.   
 
6.  Turn on the host system. 
 
Powering the MS95x0-47 directly from the computer can sometimes cause 
interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer.  Not all computers 
supply the same current through the keyboard port, explaining why a scanner 
would work on one computer and not another.  Contact a Customer Service 
Representative if you require an external power supply. 
 
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.
