QUICKSCAN™ QD2590
CONNECT HOST INTERFACE
The reader kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable
for your installation. If this is not so, contact "
Technical Support" on page xii
.
The reader can communicate using the interfaces illustrated below.
For corded versions, connect the reader cable by inserting the cable into the handle as
shown in the following Figure.
To remove the interface cable from the reader, first locate the hole on the back of the
handle. Next, take a paper clip and modify it as shown in the figure below. Insert the
end of the paper clip into the hole and press it to push on the clip that holds the connec-
tor. As you apply pressure, pull out the cable.
When reinserting the cable, make sure the connector clip is on the same side as the
reader release hole. Insert the cable, it should click when it is fully inserted.

RS-232 Serial Connection
Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to the terminal/PC serial port
via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 3. If the terminal will not support POT (Power
Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter).
Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and
the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.
RS-232:
The reader can communicate with a standard or Wincor-Nixdorf (W-N) RS-232
host.
RS-232 OPOS:
This interface is used for OPOS/UPOS/JavaPOS systems.
Keyboard Wedge Connection
The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the reader. Connect the female to
the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the ter-
minal/PC.
Keyboard Wedge (KBW):
When connected using this interface, the host interprets
scanned data as keystrokes and supports several international keyboards (for the Win-
dows® environment). See "
Setting Country Mode" on page 36
for a full listing.
NOTE: We recommend the use of a perfectly straight new paper clip to
make the operation easier (see the figure below).
