Resetting/Initializing the Scanner

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

IMPORTANT:  If you have problems, first try to reset the scanner.  If that
            does not work, you can initialize the scanner; however, this
            clears all information stored in your scanner's memory.

Resetting the Scanner

1.  Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again.

2.  Insert a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, into the
    RESET opening on the back of the scanner and gently press then release
    the reset button inside the opening.

Note:  If the scanner still does not work properly, you might need to
       initialize it.

Initializing the Scanner

IMPORTANT:  This procedure clears all information you stored in the
            scanner's memory.  Initialize the scanner only when you are
            sure the scanner is not working properly.

1.  Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again.

2.  Hold down MON/CL.

3.  While holding down MON/CL, insert a pointed object, such as a
    straightened paper clip, into the RESET opening on the back of the
    scanner and gently press then release the reset button inside the
    opening.  The display briefly turns off.

4.  When the display turns on again, release MON/CL.

Note:  You must release the reset button before releasing MON/CL,
       otherwise the memory might not clear.
