RESETTING THE SCANNER

If the scanner's display locks up or does not work properly after you
connect power, you might need to reset the scanner.

    Caution:

    This procedure clears all the information you have programmed into the
    scanner.  Before you reset the scanner, try turning it off and on to
    see if it begins working properly.

1.  Turn off the scanner.

2.  While you hold down the 2 and 9 keys, turn on the scanner.
