Connecting the Scanner
The scanner kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable for your
installation. Alternatively, if your scanner receives Power Off the Terminal (POT) it might be
possible to connect using a cable from a previously existing installation (except for USB). If you
wish to connect using an existing cable, but cannot use POT, a short adapter cable is available.
Check with your technical support representative about compatibility before connecting. Use
the appropriate instructions below when you’re ready to connect the scanner to the terminal, PC
or other host device.
Upon completing the connection via the appropriate interface instructions below, proceed to
the
Interface Related Features section of this manual and scan the bar code to select the correct
interface type.
RS-232 Serial Connection —
Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the scanner
to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in
Figure 1a. If the terminal will
not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply scanner power, use the approved power
supply (AC Adapter) as shown in
Figure 1b. Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the
socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.
