Connecting Using Scanner Emulation
To perform scanner emulation, connect the scanner cradle to a mobile computer, or a controller that collects the data and interprets
it for the host.
Figure 10-1. Scanner Emulation Connection
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 10-1 are examples only.
The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner cradle remain
the same.
Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the scanner may not recognize the new host.
1. Attach the modular connector of the scanner emulation interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner cradle. See
Connecting the Cradle on page 1-6 .
2. Connect the other end of the scanner emulation interface cable to the scanner port on the mobile computer or controller.
3. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Pair the scanner to the cradle by scanning the bar code on the cradle.
5. Scan the Scanner Emulation Host bar code on page 10-6 to enable the scanner emulation interface.
6. To modify parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
7. Connect an external power supply if desired.
Connect the cradle to a 5 volt decoder only. Connecting to a 12 volt decoder can cause damage
and invalidate the warranty.
