Installing the Unit in the Counter
Before starting to mount the MS2420/MS2430 determine:
the scanner's orientation in reference to the operator and the direction of package flow,
the mounting method that provides the most stability for the scanner, and
if any additional materials or tools are required for installation.
Lifting the Unit by the Finger Recesses
There are two finger recesses located under the removable
platter near the base of the vertical window. These finger
recesses are provided to assist in installation when placing
the unit in the checkout counter cutout (see Figure 15).
To decrease the risk of dropping the unit during
installation, rest both thumbs against the vertical window
frame for added stability when lifting the unit by the finger
recesses. The unit may tilt forward when lifted by the
finger recesses if it is not stabilized making installation in
the countertop cutout difficult.
