Connecting a Datalogic scanner to a host computer or point-of-sale terminal is a straightforward process determined by the communication interface type. For wired models, simply plug the USB, keyboard wedge, or RS-232 serial cable securely into the corresponding port on your workstation or cash register. The operating system will typically recognize the device automatically as a standard human interface device or virtual COM port. For wireless Bluetooth or proprietary radio-frequency models, you must pair the handheld scanner to its cradle or host receiver by scanning a unique binding barcode located on the base station housing to establish a secure wireless data link.
