Chapter 2 Installation
Installation 10 2.1 CONNECTING THE SCANNER Before you connect any cable to the scanner, decide whether you will guide it backward as a tail or downward, through the foot and counter surface! 1. Remove the end cover. Firmly press the end cover as indicated below and carefully slide the cover approx. ¾ cm. downward (referring to normal operating position). Now you can lift off the cover.
Installation 11 4. Be sure you make a loop in the cable, which will fit under the end-cover, as this is an essential part of the strain relief (see right picture above). 5. Guide the cable through the exit slit and carefully mount the end cover. 6. (If you have an older type of cover: lock the two little clips by shifting them toward the front of the scanner until you hear it click.
Installation 12 ATTENTION Though most cables do have a power injector in the cable, this does not automatically mean that you must use a power supply. For safety reasons an automatic switch will disconnect the power provided by the PC/POS system, as soon as a separate power adapter is connected to the power injector.
Installation 2.3 MOUNTING THE SCANNER PLUS FLEXIBLE STAND To install the scanner on the flexible scanner stand, lead the cable either backward via the slit in the rear-side of the stand, or guide it vertically through the stand to be connected to the scanner. Furthermore the stand should be fastened to the counter top. You than can easily put the scanner in the stand. To mount the stand you are advised to precisely follow the next steps: 1. Gently pull the bottom disk out of the stand. 2.
Installation 14 5. Optional: Lead the cables from the bottom upwards through the hole in the counter, through the bottom plate and through the scanner stand. Click the stand on the bottom plate. 6. Connect the cable(s) to the scanner. Refer to chapter 2.1 for the correct method. 7. Place the scanner onto the flexible stand and rotate the scanner into the desired position. 8. Connect the data cable to the host. See note in Chapter 2.2 9.
Installation 15 2.4 CONTROLLING THE SCANNER FROM THE POS SYSTEM The Sirius S-7030 can be controlled from the POS system via the RS-232 interface or USB/COM Port Emulation. Control is achieved by transmitting the following single byte commands to the scanner.
