USB Interface 6 - 3
To set up the digital scanner:
1. Connect the modular connector of the USB interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner
(see Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-3).
2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub, or plug the Plus Power connector in an available port of
the IBM SurePOS terminal.
3. The digital scanner automatically detects the host interface type and uses the default setting. If the default (*)
does not meet your requirements, select another USB device type by scanning the appropriate bar code from
USB Device Type on page 6-5.
4. On first installation when using Windows, the software prompts to select or install the Human Interface Device
driver. To install this driver, provided by Windows, click Next through all the choices and click Finished on the
last choice. The digital scanner powers up during this installation.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
If problems occur with the system, see Troubleshooting on page 3-3.
USB Parameter Defaults
Table 6-1 lists the defaults for USB host parameters. Change these values in one of two ways:
• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter. The new value replaces the standard default value in
memory. To recall default parameter values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5.
• Configure the scanner using the 123Scan
2
configuration program. See Chapter 12, 123Scan and Software
Tools.
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 6-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the digital scanner
are the same.
NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, symbologies, and
miscellaneous default parameters.
