Step 2  -  Plug in the communication lead from the scanner to the computer


In order for the scanner to communicate with your computer a lead is needed to connect them.

The grey lead that you are provided with has a port type connector at one end which goes into the serial port connector at the back of your computer
  • this should be com port 1 if at all possible - if another port is used you will need to configure the software to recognise this.
     
    At the other end of the lead is a phone type connection which slots into the Main port at the back of the scanner.



    For a more detailed view of the connection ports click on the picture above.  

    The picture below shows the communication lead in place.


  • Please note - the extra phone type connector that is attached to this lead is only for loop testing the scanner and should not be used.
