Connecting to an IBM 468X/469X Host

NOTE See
and wireless communication
The linear imager scanner must be connected to the cradle for the host parameter setting to take effect.
When the linear imager scanner is not connected to a cradle, and a host parameter bar code is scanned,
a long low/long high beep sequence sounds.
This connection is made directly from the cradle to the host interface.

NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in
only. 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
recognize the new host.
The only required configuration is the port number. Other linear imager scanner parameters are typically
controlled by the IBM system.
