This connection is made directly from the cradle to the host interface.
Host Port Connector
To connect the IBM 46XX interface:
1. Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the host port on the bottom of the scanner cradle (see
Connecting the Cradle on page
2. Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
3. Select the port address by scanning the appropriate bar code from
4. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in
The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same.
If a power supply is used, disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the cradle may not
