NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 7-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner
are the same.
NOTE The only required configuration is the port address. The IBM system typically controls other digital scanner
parameters.
