NOTE
A new scanner may have been shipped from the factory with a Null Inter-
face (no interface type selected) to ensure system compatibility at instal-
lation. In this case, the correct Interface Type programming bar code must
be scanned first before the scanner can be used with a POS system.
NOTE
If the scanner’s interface type must be changed, always be sure that inter-
face configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming ses-
sion. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to
the factory default for that interface type.)
