Changing Interfaces - PSC QuickScan 6000 Programming Manual

Changing Interfaces

To change a scanner's interface...
Hardware
If necessary, replace the scanner's interface cable to match the new host
terminal's connection requirements. To disconnect the cable from the
scanner, insert a .050" hex driver or bent paper clip into the CABLE RE-
LEASE hole, and press down to unlock the cable connector. Reference
Figure 1.
We recommend that you disconnect power before plugging/
unplugging cables to avoid any possibility of equipment damage.
Software
1. Verify that your scanner supports the desired interface
on the following page indicates interfaces available at the time of
this writing. Your scanner comes equipped from the factory with
the ability to connect and communicate with at least two major
interface types. For example, OCIA/RS-232 and Keyboard Wedge/
Wand Emulation are two common pairings. Contact your nearest
PSC service depot if you don't know your scanner's interface
group, or need to have the scanner altered to change to another
I/F group.
1 Contact your dealer if your desired interface is not listed. Interface group definitions are
subject to change without notice.
