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.
See caution on page 5.
