NOTE
A new scanner may have been shipped from the factory with a Null Interface
(no interface type selected) to ensure system compatibility at installation. 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 interface
configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming session.
(Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to the fac-
tory default for that interface type.)
