Connect the scanner directly to the host computer.
IBM Connection
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors can be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner are the same.
Attach the modular connector of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner.
Connect the other end of the IBM 46XX interface cable to the appropriate port on the host (typically Port 9).
The scanner automatically detects the host interface type, but there is no default setting. Scan the appropriate barcode from Port Address to select the port address.
To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in this section.
The only required configuration is the port address. The IBM system typically controls other scanner parameters.
