Installation Note
Powering the MS5145-47 directly from the computer
can sometimes cause interference with the operation
of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply
the same current through the keyboard port, explaining
why a scanner may work on one computer and not
another. Contact a customer service representative if an
external power supply is required.
