3800g User’s Guide 1 - 5
Connecting the Imager When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)
An imager can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port or connected to a portable data terminal.
The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager and to the terminal/
computer.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
Note: You will not hear a power-up beep because the 3800g is factory defaulted
to a USB connection. You must scan the IBM PC AT and Compatibles
with CR suffix bar code on page 1-6 to enable keyboard wedge ability.
Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in
the back of this manual. The imager beeps once.
