22 | Chapter 2: Installation
If the communication attempt is not successful, try the following:
• Is the reader connected to the power supply and turned on?
• Is the communication cable firmly attached to both the reader
and the computer?
• Did you select the correct Reader Type in Gen5?
• Try a different COM port.
• If using the USB cable, did you install the driver software?
If you remain unable to get Gen5 and the reader to communicate with
each other, contact BioTek’s Technical Assistance Center.
