P 300STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide
Connecting to a Host
The P 300 series scanners support a variety of host interfaces. The P 300FZY uses RS-232,
Synapse, Keyboard Wedge and Wand emulation to interface to a host system. The P 300PRO
uses RS-232 and Synapse to interface to a host system. This section describes how to make
each of these connections.
RS-232 Connection
Both the P 300FZY and P300PRO scanner use RS-232 to interface to a host system. This
connection can be made either directly from the scanner to the host, or indirectly through a
Synapse adapter cable to the host.
RS-232 Direct Connection
1. Connect the interface cable to the bottom of the scanner, as described in
Installing
the Cable
on page 1-2.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the host.

3. Plug one end of the power supply into the power receptacle on the RS-232 cable.
Plug the other end into a wall outlet.
Wand Emulation Connection
To perform Wand emulation, the scanner can be connected to a portable data terminal, or a
controller which collects the data as wand data, and interprets it for the host.
