To connect the cradle to a USB host:
1. Attach the modular connector of the USB interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital
scanner. See Connecting the Cradle on page 1-4.
2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub, or plug the Plus Power connector in an available
port of the IBM SurePOS terminal.
3. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Pair the digital scanner to the cradle by scanning the barcode on the cradle.
5. Select the USB device type by scanning the appropriate barcode from <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>USB
Device Type on page 12-170.
6. On first installation when using Windows, the software displays a prompt to select or install the Human
Interface Device driver. To install the Human Interface Device driver provided by Windows, click Next
through all the choices and click Finished on the last choice. The digital scanner powers up during this
installation.
7. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate barcodes in this chapter.
8. Connect an external power supply if desired.
If problems occur, see <bl_blue><em_Emphasis>Troubleshooting on page 4-5.
notes Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in
<em_Emphasis><bl_blue>Figure 12-7 are examples only. The connectors may be different from those
illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same.
Disconnect the host cables before the power supply, or the digital scanner may not recognize the new
host.
