4. Configure Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)
Install the Interface Cable
The imager kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable
for your installation. If not, contact
Technical Support .
Seat the cable assembly into the imager, aligning both the connector, aligning the cable
clip with its opening as shown in the insert portion of
Figure 1 .
RS-232 Serial Connection — Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the im-
ager to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1 . If the ter-
minal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply imager power, use the
approved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the
socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power
outlet.
