Setting up the Reader

To connect to the reader or base station on your computer:

1. Select the connection type: Ethernet, RS-232 Serial, or USB, and connect the cables respectively.

   

   Note:

    

   When you connect the reader through USB, always use a power supply. When using a DM8700 DX with a USB cable (DMC-HH-USBA-02 or DMC-HH-USBC-02), make sure to connect the USB connector to a USB hub that stays enabled even if the PC or notebook goes to sleep.

   When using other models including base station, connecting to a USB hub that is always enabled is not obligatory, but strongly recommended.

2. Turn on your device(s).

3. Install the DataMan Setup Tool on your computer, see Install the DataMan SetupTool and Connect to Reader.
