8 - 2 LS7708 Scanner Product Reference Guide
Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host
The scanner connects directly to an IBM host interface. This configuration requires an external power supply regardless of
whether peripherals are attached.
Figure 8-23IBM Connection - Power Supplied Externally, with or without Peripherals
1. Connect the interface cable to the host port of the scanner.
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically, Port 9).
3. Connect the peripherals, if any, to their respective ports (see Figure 8-23).
4. Connect the power supply to the scanner’s power port.
5. Scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter or use 123Scan to configure the scanner.
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors may be different from the examples
illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same. See Chapter 1, Getting Started for
connection information.
The only required configuration is the port number. The host system controls most other scanner
parameters.
