Cloning
The cloning procedure reprograms the software in the “destination” scanner’s memory with software from the “source” scanner. Before using this procedure, determine which scanner will be the source (the scanner containing the desired software). The 3800/3900 supports cloning and can act as the source device. The software in the destination scanner will be updated from the source scanner. The destination scanner device must be the same model as the source.
Procedure
1.Use the cloning cable
2.Connect the destination scanner to one of the 10 pin modular connectors on the cloning cable.
3.Connect the source scanner (containing the new or updated software) to the remaining 10 pin modular connector on the cloning cable.
4.Connect the power supply to the 4 pin
5.Make sure both units are on, and then scan the “Clone Destination” bar code with the destination scanner.

6.Scan the Clone Source bar code below with the source scanner. The scanner’s “Good Read” LED begins blinking periodically indicating cloning is in process.

7.When cloning is complete, the destination scanner will double beep. This procedure takes approximately two minutes.
8.Disconnect the destination scanner from the cloning cable.
9.To clone another scanner, repeat steps 1 through 8.
Caution: DO NOT scan the “source” bar code unless you are going to clone a scanner. If you mistakenly scan this bar code, reset the scanner by turning the power off and back on to regain normal operation.
