Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in
wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a
keyboard wedge connection:

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the

back of the terminal/computer.

3. Connect the appropriate

interface cable to the
scanner and to the terminal/
computer.

4. Turn the terminal/computer

power back on. The scanner will beep twice.

5. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the back cover of

this manual. The scanner will beep once.
