Host applications.
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee
that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host
system. The scanner is shipped from the factory configured with default
settings. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration
Guide (MLPN 00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on
changing the scanner’s configuration. In addition, please check that the
scanner and host system are using the same communication protocol.
See power source caution statement located on page 6 of this manual.
