Intermec 1470 User Guide

Inspect the imager’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A
badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with imager operation. Contact
your Intermec representative to order replacement cables. For information on replacing
interface cables, see “Replacing the Interface Cable” later in this chapter.

Routinely examine the imager’s housing for signs of damage.  A damaged housing may
cause the internal components to move and may result in a malfunctioning imager.

The standard interface cable is attached to the imager with a 10-pin modular connector.
When properly seated, the connector is held in the imager’s handle by a flexible
retention tab. The cable is designed to be field replaceable.

• Order replacement cables from your Intermec representative.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the original

interface cable.

1. Turn off the power to the host system.

2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from the terminal or computer.

3. Locate the small hole on the side of the imager’s handle near the base (cable

release).

4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.

5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small hole and press in. This depresses the

retention tab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector out of the imager’s handle
while maintaining pressure on the paper clip.
