! IMPORTANT !

If you have problems with the scanner, first try to reset it to retain all memory. If that does not work, you can initialize the scanner.

You may be able to save the information in your scanner’s memory into your computer, a V- Scanner folder or another scanner before trying to initialize it. See “Cloning the Programmed Data” on Page 82 and “Working with V-Scanners” on Page 75.

Initialilzing the Scanner clears all information you stored in the scanner’s working memory. Initialize the scanner only when you are sure the scanner is not working properly. V- Scanner memory is not affected when the scanner is initialized.
