Installation Note 
Powering the MS5145-47 directly from the computer can   
sometimes cause interference with the operation of the   
scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the   
same current through the keyboard port, explaining why   
a scanner may work on one computer and not another.   
Contact a customer service representative if an external 
power supply is required.
