Putting It Together
1. Be sure your host device is powered down.
2. Connect the 40-pin connector on the host cable to the
HOST port on the LL 500. If your cable doesn’t have a
40-pin connector, proceed to step 5.
3. The other end of the host cable should match one of the
following:
• The input port on your host. This may be an OCIA,
OCR, IBM 468x/9x, or RS-232C terminal.
• A POS Internal connection. In this case you’ll have to
open up your POS terminal and connect the cable
internally. This procedure is described for some of the
most popular terminals in the LL 500 Product
Reference Guide.
• A keyboard wedge.The LL 500is physically connected
between the terminal and the keyboard. To do this:
Host Cable

Getting Started
4
- First, unplug the keyboard at the terminal end.
- Next, attach one end of the host cable to the end of
the keyboard cable.

5
- Finally, attach the remaining connector on the host
cable to the receptacle on the host terminal where
the keyboard was originally connected.
4. If your host cable attaches to an RS-232C device, the
LL 500 Product Reference Guide defines the pin-outs for the
various RS-232C cables. If you are not connecting another
device to the AUX port, go to step 6.

Getting Started
6
5. If you are using dual-port RS-232C, or downloading
parameters through the AUX port of the LL 500, you have
a cable which has an 8-pin modularconnector at oneend,
and a 25-pin d-type connector at the other. The 8-pin end
gets plugged into the LL 500 AUX port. In the LL 500
Product Reference Guide you’ll find some tables defining
the pin-outs for the various RS-232C cables.

7
6. If a power supply is required, remove the power selection
plug and connect a power supply to that receptacle. The
power supply must comply with all local regulations.If
you are not using an external power supply, be sure the
powerselection plug is pluggedin.Ifitis not, theLL 500
will not work.

7. Attach ascanner to either the PrimaryScannerPort,orthe
Secondary Scanner Port. The connector at the end of the
scanner’s cord will fit in only one of those ports.
8. If you want to use a magstripe reader, plug it into the
Magstripe Port.
Note: Some configurations (i.e., LL-500-I20X-170Y and LL-
500-I20X-80Y) only support the Primary Scanner Port.
Magstripe Port

9
Get Set
Power-up your host terminal. You will hear three beeps and see
a green light on the LL 500.
Before you can actually start, you have to scan two bar codes.
The bar code below will set all programmable parameters to
their default values.
Scan this bar code now.
You should have just heard a warble tone from the LL 500.
If you are connected to a RS-232C terminal, you may need to
change some of the defaults. Consult the LL 500Product
Reference Guide for a description of those parameters, and their
associated bar codes.
The second bar code you must scan is a HostType. The LL 500
will not operate unless you select your host type.Bar codes for
the most popular host types begin on page 71. Scan a Host Type
now, then go the next page.

Go
To ensure everything is working as it should, scan the test bar
codes below. For each successful decode, you will hear a single
beep from the LL 500.
UPC-A TEST
CODE 39 TEST
If you could not decode these bar codes, or if the LL 500 is not
working properly at this point, seeWhat If... on page 12. If you
can’t find the problem, call our Support Center at the number
listed in your Product Reference Guide.
If everything is working as it should, go to the next page.

Customizing the Data
If you want to append an ENTER (CR) to all data, scan the five
bar codes below, starting at the top and working down. When
you do this, all previously stored ADF rules will be deleted.

What If...
Note: *Some configurations do not decode UPC or Code 39. Try
decoding a bar code specific to your application.

A look at the individual components.
LL 500
This is the interface controller that lets you take bar code,
magstripe and/or serial data and send it to your host system.
You’llnoticethe various portsand connectors andLEDs.There’s
a description of each of them in theLL 500 Product Reference
Guide. Pay special attention to the Power Selection Plug. If this
plug is removed, and an external power supply is not
connected, the unit will not operate.
Depending on the model of LL 500, the Primary and Secondary
scanner ports have been pre-set for 5V or 12V scanners.
LL 500-I200 models have the primary port configured for 12V,
and the secondary port for 5V.
LL 500-I201 models have the primary port configured for 5V,
and the secondary port for 12V.
Cable
Every unit needs one (or more). This is the physical connection
between the LL 500 and your host device. You may have two
cables because some interfaces (like dual portRS-232-C) require
two.
Power Supply
Some host devices supply enough power torun the
LL 500 and its attached scanner. When that’s not the case, you’ll
need an external power supply. If you’re not sure if your host
supplies sufficient power, ask your Symbol representative.

What Does The Beep Mean?
When you hear 1 beep (short high tone) it means data has been
decoded successfully. If any other beeps are heard, contact the
technical person in charge of scanning.
A Closing Word
We hope this guide has helped you become familiar with your
LL 500. For an in depth look at this controller consult the LL 500
Product Reference Guide and Advanced Programmer’s Guide.

tension.
2. Raccordez le connecteur à40 broches au port du LL 500
prévu àcet effet. Si le câble n'est pas pourvu d'un
connecteur 40 broches, passez àl'étape 5.
3. L'autre extrémitédu câble 40 points doit correspondre à
l'une des connexions suivantes :
•Port d'entrée du système récepteur. Il peut s'agir d'un
terminal OCIA, OCR, IBM 468x/9x ou RS-232C.
•Une connexion interne terminal point de vente. Dans
ce cas, vous devrez ouvrir le boîtier du terminal point
de vente et y connecter le câble. Cette procédure est
décrite pour les terminaux les plus répandus dans la
section Guide d'interface du Guide de référence produit
du LL 500.
•Une émulation clavier. Le LL 500 est physiquement
connectéentre le terminal et le clavier. Pour le raccord-
ement, procédez de la manière suivante:
