Ibm Port 17 Interface Selection - Datalogic Magellan 8500 Product Reference Manual

Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type, since you can
cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to change to
an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections with the host
cable DISCONNECTED.
CAUTION
When connecting to the POS terminal, you must specify either "Scanner
Only" ("Scanner/Scale Only") or "IBM 4698" as the model number. The
"Scanner Only" or "Scanner/Scale Only" setting allows for barcode label pro-
gramming and sets the unit to factory defaults; the "IBM 4698" setting will
allow host configuration of the unit.
NOTE
The associated POS sockets are 9A and 9E.
Single cable installations require connection at the POS Terminal (host) port.
The Scale Host port connection is not used for this interface.
NOTE
6-60
