Replacing a Corded Scanner Interface Cable

1. Turn the power to the host system OFF.
2. Disconnect the scanner's cable from the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the back of the scanner's handle. This is the cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small hole and press in. This depresses the retention
tab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector out while maintaining pressure on the paper
clip, then remove the paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly. The connector is keyed to go in only
one way, and will click into place.

Troubleshooting a Corded Scanner

The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your scanner is not func-
tioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the aimer on?
If the aimer isn't illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn't used).
• The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn't reading symbols well, check that the scanner window is clean and that the symbols:
• Aren't smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• Aren't coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
• Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or
the Tab key, for example).
• You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to output the bar code data plus the key you
need (such as "CR") to enter the data into your application. Refer to
further information.
The scanner won't read your bar code at all.
• Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar
code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see
If the scanner still can't read the sample bar codes, scan
