Your scanner's PC Remote function lets you connect the scanner to a
computer then use the computer to operate most of the scanner's functions,
the same way as if you were using the keys on the scanner's front panel.
Connecting The Scanner To A Computer

your scanner. Otherwise you could damage your computer or the
scanner.
To connect the scanner to your computer plug one end of the supplied 9-pin
serial cable into REMOTE on the back of the scanner, then plug the other
end of the cable into your computer's serial port.
