GETTING STARTED

pag

Tools needed:

• Phillips head screwdriver

• ¼”-20 wrench

• Drill with a #39 drill bit (drill for hard-mount installation only)

Slide off the cable cover. Slide off the horizontal stand.

Slide on the cable door and
remove the foam insert.

Mounting the MS7220: Peel off the base plate’s tape backing and affix it to
the countertop or drill four #39 pilot holes and secure the base plate to the
countertop with the four #8 wood screws provided.

Loosen the lock nut, push back
the metal base plate and then
slide the cable through the cable
opening.

Continued on next

e.

GETTING STARTED

Return the metal base plate to its
original position then tighten the
lock nut.

Before continuing, determine what communication interface is needed
then follow the installation procedure for that interface on pages 5-12.

It is important to use the correct communication jack on the back of
the scanner (see pages 5-12 for cable the proper connections).
Incorrect cable connections can cause communication problems or
potential damage to the scanner

Return the foam insert to its
original position then slide
the horizontal stand back
into place on the scanner.

After the communication cable has been connected properly, slide the
cable cover down then secure in place with the three M3x .5 x 6 mm pan
head screws provided.

See the “MS7220 Stands” section of this guide for additional information on the vertical
[

MLPN 46-46405 ] and flexible [ MLPN 46-46406 ] stand options.
