Figure 6-1. RS-232 Direct Connection
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors
illustrated in Figure 6-1 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 RS-232 interface cable to the cable interface
port on the scanner. (See Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-5.)
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.
3. Connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable.
Plug the power supply to an appropriate outlet.
4. Ensure that all connections are secure.
5. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from the RS-232
Host Types section on page 6-9.
6. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this
