There are four additional 10-pin modular jacks located on the bottom of the of the MS2421 scanner models that may be used
for an integrated scale application and the use of a remote display.
Please keep in mind that every application is unique. The use of these connections depends on the
specifications of the scale’s manufacturer. The following pinouts are for reference only. If the scanner has
been integrated with a scale, refer to the Scale Addendum for detailed instructions on the appropriate cable
