The wedge interface cable connects the scanner to the
terminal keyboard and the terminal. You select a
wedge interface cable based on the the terminal you
are using. The available cables are listed in Table 2.A.
The wedge interface cable has a connector housing
and a "Y" cable. The housing contains 1 or 2
plug-in sockets for the scanner and an optional power
supply. The two legs of the "Y" cable connect to the
terminal keyboard and the terminal.
CAUTION:

!
power to the terminal is off. Failure to do
this could result in damage to the scanner.
To connect the wedge interface cable:
1. Turn off power to the computer/terminal to which
the scanner will be connected.
2. Plug the DB9 squeeze-to-release connector
of the scanner interface cable into the
connector housing of the wedge interface cable.
3. Unplug the keyboard from the terminal and replug
the keyboard into the short leg of the "Y" cable.
4. Plug the remaining long leg of the "Y" cable into
the terminal where the keyboard was connected.
5. Arrange the fully connected unit so that all cables
run freely.
