Notice
Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your barcode scanner is able to
perform at the level for which it is designed.
1. All software, including firmware, furnished to the user is on a licensed basis.
2. The right is reserved to make changes to any software or product to improve reliability, function, or
design.
3. The material in this manual is subject to change without notice.
4. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise
from the use of this manual.
5. A standard kit contains: a fixed scanner (with USB or RS232 cable) and a CD-ROM (containing
software and electrical manuals). A 5V AC/DC adaptor for RS232 cable is optional.
6. Do not throw or drop the scanner or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can damage the
scanner, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or otherwise interfere with proper
operation.
7. Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the scanner’s case. Operating
the scanner while condensation is present can interfere with proper operation. Take care to avoid
conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If condensation does form, wait until it dries
completely before using the scanner.
