Enabling the Barcode Scanner

Caution - The Barcode Scanner uses a laser to read barcode labels. A laser is a source of

highly concentrated light energy, and can damage the eyes. Use extreme caution when

operating the library with the cover removed.

1) Keep the lid off of the library. Block the lid sensor in the front top left of the library with a piece

of paper that is about the size of a business card. Fold the paper in half several times, until the

paper fits snugly into the sensor slot, and does not fall out.

2) Reconnect AC power to the library.

3) Place a SCSI terminator (shipped with the Library) on the SCSI Out Connector (closest to the

fans), on the back panel.

4) Power on the library. Wait for the library to initialize and display the main screen.

5) From the Main Screen go into the Config Menu.

10000. This displays the Barcode Options Screen.
