The IS1650 FocusE is part of Metrologic's line of scanners with flash
upgradeable firmware. The upgrade process requires a new firmware file
supplied to the customer by a customer service representative and Metrologic's
MetroSet2 software

. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with

an available RS232 serial or USB port is also required to complete the upgrade.

PowerLink Cable #54-54014 is required when using RS232 for the
upgrade process. This cable can be ordered from Metrologic at
1-800-ID-METRO. Do not use the standard cable supplied with
keyboard wedge or RS485 scanner interface kits. If using USB for the
upgrade process, the standard USB Type A cable provided with the
scanner can be used.
