Figure 6-1 Keyboard Wedge Connection with Y-Cable
To connect the Keyboard Wedge interface Y-cable:
1. Turn off the host and unplug the keyboard connector.

3. Connect the round male DIN host connector of the Y-cable to the keyboard port on the host device.
4. Connect the round female DIN keyboard connector of the Y-cable to the keyboard connector.
5. If needed, attach the optional power supply to the connector in the middle of the Y-cable.
6. Ensure that all connections are secure.
7. Turn on the host system.
8. Select the keyboard wedge host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from Keyboard Wedge Host
Parameters on page 6-4.

NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 6-1 are examples
only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain
the same.
NOTE Scanners branded with a silver logo use auto-host detect cables, and
automatically detect a keyboard wedge host
and use the default setting. If the default (*) does
not meet your requirements, scan IBM AT Notebook on page 6-4. If using a standard keyboard
wedge cable, scan one of the Keyboard Wedge Host Types on page 6-4.
