 (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

The imager kit you ordered to match your interface should provide a compatible cable

Seat the cable assembly into the imager, aligning both the connector, aligning the cable 
clip with its opening as shown in the insert portion of

Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the im-

ager to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in
