CANNER NSTALLATION RS232 (-14) Turn off the host device. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector of the PowerLink cable to the proper COM port on the host device.
CANNER NSTALLATION RS485 (-106) Turn off the host device. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. Connect the other end of the MVC cable to the host device.
Not all host devices supply the same current through the keyboard port. Contact a Metrologic, customer service representative for information on available external power supplies. See caution on page 6.
