Introduction
This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with a USB host. The digital scanner connects directly to a USB host, or a
powered USB hub, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (

).
Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure
to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not
merging.
