The scanner is extremely sensitive to the configuration of the PC driving it. WE HAVE
BEEN WARNED BY THE COMPANY NOT TO MODIFY THE CONFIGURATION
OF THE PC. THEY WILL NOT SERVICE THE INSTRUMENT IF IT HAS BEEN
MODIFIED IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH THE SCANNER
REQUIREMENTS. Ask an experienced scanner user before exploring all the new
features of the software. DO NOT change the configuration without notice.
Violation of these rules may result in loss of scanner privileges.
