PSC Scanners - Manual (Page 8)

2 User’s / Programming Guide
Unpacking
Your package should include a scanner, interface cable, User’s Man-
ual, and a plastic scanner holder.
The unit should be inspected immediately upon receipt to determine
if any damage has occurred during shipment. If damage has
occurred, a claim should be filed with the carrier immediately.
Retain the shipping box, since it should be used to return the scanner
to the factory for service.
Installation
Keyboard Wedge
In Keyboard Wedge mode the PSC scanner simulates keyboard key-
strokes. Whether a person has pressed a key on the keyboard or data
has been transmitted from the scanner is indistinguishable by the
host device. When the PSC scanner is not transmitting data to the ter-
minal the keyboard operates as if the PSC scanner was not attached.
Installation of the PSC scanner should be completed by a user who is
familiar with installing computer systems and cabling.
Cable Installation
1. Turn off power to the terminal to which the PSC scanner will
be connected.
2. Verify that you received the correct cabling. The cable sup-
plied for keyboard wedge installation is referred to as a “Y”
cable.
3. Connect the modular plug to the PSC scanner. Insert plug
into the rectangular opening in the bottom of the scanner
handle.
4. Unplug the keyboard from the terminal and replug the key-
board into the short leg of the “Y” cable that mates with it.
5. Plug the remaining long leg of the “Y” cable into the terminal
where the keyboard was connected.
6. Arrange the fully connected unit so that all cables run freely.
