Introduction

Connecting a Hand-Held Scanner

Connect the hand-held scanner's Synapse Adapter cable to the Scanner port of the Symbol LS7708. In most cases, the hand-held
laser scanner configures itself.
When using the hand-held scanner port, connect an external power supply to the power port.

Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors may be different from the examples
illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same. See
information.
When the hand-held laser scanner is connected to the Scanner port of the primary scanner, the hand-held scanner auto-configures
and inherits some of the primary scanner's decode parameters. Any changes to the primary scanner's settings are automatically
reflected back to the hand-held scanner. Programming bar codes are provided to:
• program only the hand-held laser scanner
• program only the Symbol LS7708
• program both scanners simultaneously.
Some hand-held scanners do not support these programming modes. Parameter bar codes affect only these scanners, not the primary
scanner, regardless of the programming mode selected.
