Plug the 25-pin end of the barcode reader cable into the 25-pin end of the
adapter cable.
8
Plug the other end of the adapter cable (9-pin) into port A on the back of the
Twister. Then plug the power cable into an appropriate power source. (See
the

for power requirements.)

Plug the manual trigger cable into the split cable on the back of the barcode
reader.

To test the reader, locate the "Set Defaults" barcode on page 6-2 of the
Symbol LS 1220 Product Reference Manual
. Hold this barcode in front of
the reader, and press the manual trigger. Hold the page far enough away
from the reader (i.e., behind the platform) so that you can scan the laser
over the barcode until you hear a "beep."
NOTE
If the test barcode does not scan, verify that
all communications cables and power cords
are securely plugged into the Twister, the
computer, the device, and the barcode reader.
