RS-232 Cable Installation

To connect the HE40T to your host computer via RS-232 interface:

• Make sure the RS-232 cable is sufficiently attached to your reader (Figure 1-11 and Figure 1-13).

• Connect the RS-232 interface cable to your host computer (Figure 1-19). If you are unsure of the proper location to connect the RS-232 cable, please consult the manual of your host computer.

• The RS-232 interface should have come with a power supply. Plug the power supply adapter into the RS-232 interface cable (Figure 1-19), and then plug the power adapter into a wall socket (Figure 1-19). The RS-232 interface does not require additional power. However, if you are using the RS-232 interface and utilizing Batch functionality with the BH1/BH2 battery handle, the HE40T will recharge the battery whenever the reader is attached to a RS-232 cable that is plugged into a wall socket.
