Setting Up the Reader
Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and communicating
with its host:

2. Select the Interface Type
3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)
4. Configure Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)
Install the Interface Cable
The reader cable connection is secured using the “clamshell” retainer referenced in the enlarged
area of
Figure 1 . Fit and clamp the retainer over the cable connector as shown in the illustra-
tion, then fully seat the cable assembly into the reader, aligning both the connector and the
retainer boss with their respective openings. Secure the captive screws.
RS-232 Serial Connection —
Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to
the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1 . If the terminal will not
support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply
(AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable con-
nector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.
