connector. When properly seated, the connector is secured in the scanner bottom
by a flexible retention tab. The cable is designed to be field replaceable.
Replacement cables can be obtained from your authorized distributor.
To replace the cable, follow these steps.
1. Make sure that the power of your computer system is switched off. If a power
adapter is used, disconnect it from the scanner cable.
2. Disconnect the old scanner cable from the computer system.
3. Use a stick to remove the mounting plate from the scanner. (See 4.3).
4. Press down the small tab on the connector where the old cable is attached to
the scanner and pull out the connector.
5. Insert the 10-pin modular plug of a new interface cable into the “Host”
connector at the back of the scanner until it clicks.
6. Insert the connecting cable in the slot of the mounting plate.
7. Mate the scanner and the mounting plate, engaging the tab on the underside.
Be careful not to pinch the cable.
8. Plug the new cable into the host.
9. If a power adapter is used, plug the power adapter into the jack on the interface
cable.
10. Re-program the scanner interface setting with barcodes in the Programming
Guide.
5. Mounting
After the scanner passes its verification test, you may proceed with mounting for
permanent fixture.
The scanner should be installed in a location away from direct sunlight; high levels
of ambient light reduce scanner effectiveness.
The two basic styles of mounting are
a) with the included mounting plate, and
b) with a custom bracket (not included) for back mounting.
If an auxiliary handheld scanner is to be attached, it must be properly connected
as part of the mounting process.
