Replacing The Interface Cable; Troubleshooting - Honeywell 3800gPDF - Hand Held Decoding Linear Imager User Manual

Replacing the Interface Cable

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the 3800g scanner's
handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field
replaceable.
• Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
To Replace the 3800g Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the scanner's cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the side of
the scanner's handle. This is the
cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the
small hole and press in. This
depresses the retention tab, releasing
the connector. Pull the connector out
while maintaining pressure on the
paper clip, then remove the paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening
and press firmly. The connector is
keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.

Troubleshooting

The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide
to try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the aiming beam line on?
If the aiming beam line isn't illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn't used).
• The trigger works.
