This chapter describes how to set up the scanner with an IBM 468X/469X host.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host
This connection is made directly from the scanner to the host interface.
Figure 8-1. IBM Direct Connection
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 8-1 are examples only.
The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same.
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner (see Installing the
Interface Cable on page 1-4).
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
3. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate bar code from Port Address on page 8-5.
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
The only required configuration is the port number. Other scanner parameters are typically controlled by the
IBM system.
