Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an IBM 468X/469X host.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

).
Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the
screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and
bars and/or spaces are not merging.
Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host
This connection is made directly from the digital scanner to the host interface.
Figure 9-1. IBM Direct Connection
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 9-1 are examples only.
The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the
same.
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner (see
Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-4 ).
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
3. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate bar code from Port Address on page 9-5 .
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
