Connector
Interface Cable
NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors may be different from those illustrated
in
Figure 9-1 , but the steps to connect the digital scanner cradle are the same.
Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the digital scanner may not recognize the
new host.
NOTE The only required configuration is the port address. The IBM system controls most other digital scanner
parameters.
