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 factory default for that inter
-
face type.)
CAUTION
Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type,
since you can cause damage to the scanner and/or POS termi
-
nal by attempting to change to an incompatible interface.
ALWAYS make interface selections with the host cable DIS
-
CONNECTED.
NOTE
When an interface is selected, the scanner loads the configura-
tion for that interface as the selection is made. Any custom
configurations done in the previous interface will not be carried
over to the configuration for the new interface.
