but
the
steps
to
connect
the
scanner
remain
the
same.
1.
Attach
the
modular
connector
of
the
Scanner
Emulation
interface
cable
to
the
cable
interface
port
on
the
scanner
(see

the
Interface
Cable
on
page

).
2. Connect the other end of the Scanner Emulation interface cable to the scanner port on the mobile computer
or
controller.
3. Scan the Scanner Emulation host bar code from Scanner Emulation Host on page 10-5 to enable the Scanner

interface.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
Connect the scanner to 5 volt decoders only. Connecting the scanner to a 12 volt decoder can
damage
