I have OHM'ed out my usb cable and it connects as followed SCANNER USB pin 13 > pin 4 GRD pin 12 > pin3 pin 11 > pin2 pin 10 > pin1 +5 I would like to know if this is correct. Thanks in advance John and i can't click any further. can and will you put the post of posting date 6/24 for this posting MS509 scanner to usb cable pinout Latest reply: 2013-06-24 05:10:27 into this forum item Thanks George

    George this is what I found on my MS509 With the help of some hi resolution pictures I found on the internet ,I discovered that indeed my scanner must be a chinese clone . It is missing the hardware components that control usb communications U16 - FT232BL ; USB to Serial converter, CRY4 Crystal and Capacitors C15 and C16 located on lower left side of circuit board. I think this is a lesson learned, buyer beware of internet sales This response was on page 3 of the thread I started
