Connecting Using Scanner Emulation

To perform scanner emulation, connect the digital scanner cradle to a mobile computer, or a controller that collects the data and
interprets it for the host.
Host Port Connector
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors may be different from those illustrated in
Figure 11-1, but the steps to connect the digital scanner cradle remain the same.
Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the digital scanner may not recognize the new
host.
1. Attach the modular connector of the scanner emulation interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner
cradle. See Connecting the Cradle on page
2. Connect the other end of the scanner emulation interface cable to the scanner port on the mobile computer or controller.
3. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle by scanning the bar code on the cradle.
5. Scan the Scanner Emulation Host
6. To modify parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
7. Connect an external power supply if required.
Connect the cradle to a 5 volt decoder only. Connecting to a 12 volt decoder can cause damage
and invalidate the warranty.
