Connecting a Scanning Device to the JANUS 2050

The JANUS 2050 can use one of several input devices to scan bar codes:

• 

151X laser scanner

• 

1545 laser scanner

• 

1550 laser scanner

Before using a scanning device with the JANUS 2050, read the manual that
comes with the equipment to ensure proper operation and safety.

To connect a laser scanner to the JANUS 2050, locate the input device connector
on the back of the JANUS 2050. The connector is keyed so that the input device
cable can be inserted only one way.

CAUTION

Caution
To prevent loss of data and/or internal component damage, always turn off
the JANUS 2050 before plugging in any cable or accessory or disconnecting the
power cable. As an added precaution, always turn off the JANUS 2050 using
the power switch on the rear when it is not in use.

Conseil
Pour éviter la perte fortuite de données et/ou l'endommagement de pièces
internes, éteignez toujours la JANUS 2050 avant d'y brancher tout câble ou
accessoire ou avant de faire la déconnexion entre la source de courant. Comme
précaution supplémentaire, éteignez toujours la JANUS 2050 lorsqu'elle n'est
pas en service.
