Manufacturer’s Recommendation:
Powering Orbit directly from the computer can sometimes cause
interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all
computers supply the same current through the keyboard port, explaining
why a scanner will work on one computer and not another. Metrologic
recommends using an external power supply. For additional information
contact a Metrologic customer service representative.
Caution:
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the
requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power
source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
