If you have problems
with the scanner, first try
to reset it to retain all
memory. If that does not
work, you can initialize
the scanner.
You may be able to save
the information in your
scanner’s memory into
your computer, a V-
Scanner folder or
another scanner before
trying to initialize it. See
“Cloning the
Programmed Data” on
Page 82 and “Working
with V-Scanners” on
Page 75.

clears all information
you stored in the
scanner’s working
memory. Initialize the
scanner only when you
are sure the scanner is
not working properly. V-
Scanner memory is not
affected when the
scanner is initialized.
