Host Port Connector
Interface cable
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 9-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain
the same.
NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the scanner may not recognize the new host.
NOTE The only required configuration is the port address. Most other scanner parameters are typically controlled
by the IBM system.
