IBM Interface
289
Connecting an IBM 468X/469X Host
Connect the scanner directly to the host computer.
Figure 17 IBM Connection
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner. See
Inserting the Interface Cable on page 31.
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
3. The scanner automatically detects the host interface type, but there is no default setting. Scan the appropriate
barcode from Port Address on page 291 to select the port address.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in this chapter.
If problems occur with the system, see Troubleshooting on page 48.

Interface Cable
NOTE: Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors can be different than those
illustrated in Figure 17, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same.
NOTE: The only required configuration is the port address. The IBM system typically controls other scanner
parameters.
