Installing Interface Cable
The interface cable has a modular plug (resembling a
telephone connector) on one end and a 25 pin D-Type
connector on the other end. The available interface
cables are listed in Table 2.A.
Do not connect scanner to host until host
device is turned off. Failure to do this could
result in damage to the scanner.
CAUTION:
!
To install the interface cable:
1. Turn power to host computer OFF.
2. Insert the modular plug into the opening at the
bottom of the scanner’s handle (see Figure 4.2).
The modular plug is keyed to insure proper inser-
tion. Press firmly until the plug clicks into place.
