Setting Up the Scanner
Inserting the Interface Cable
1. Plug the interface cable modular connector into the cable interface port on the bottom of the scanner handle
(see Figure 3). It is recommended to rotate/ratchet the scanner all the way forward and then insert the cable.

2. Gently tug the cable to ensure the connector is secure.
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host (see the specific host chapter for information on host
connections).
NOTE: Different hosts require different cables. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only.
Connectors vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same.
IMPORTANT: If you already have existing non shielded cables from legacy products (such as the DS9808)
they can be reused. However, be aware that the shielded cables provide improved ESD
performance. For information about cables and cable compatibility, go to the Zebra Partner
