Communication Media Options
Mechanical Connector
The 17-pin, industrial-grade, mechanical connector on the bottom panel is designed to work only with HHP sold/manufactured
communication and charging peripherals. Via these peripherals, the connector supports USB and RS-232 communications,
enabling the user to connect the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal to external devices such as scanners and printers. The connector
also provides power out 5V at 500mA, which means that, with the proper HHP cable, the terminal can power another device.
For more information about the connector, see Mechanical Connector on page 3-9.
