Connection
Use the appropriate instructions below to connect the reader to the ter-
minal, PC or other host device. 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 illus-
tration, 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 sup-
ply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket
on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard
power outlet.
