If you are using the Mindray custom 2D barcode reader (Model HS-1R, HS-1RS or HS-1M),
before using it for the first time, clear old data formats and configure the barcode reader.
To do so, follow this procedure:
1. Scan the engineering barcode to clear the previous data format.
2. Scan the 2D engineering barcode which contains the hospital’s data format.
NOTE
• Contact the scanner manufacturer or Mindray to obtain the barcodes for
clearing data formats and programming the hospital’s data format.
