1.1 POWER

Connect the interface cable between the 1500 scanner and your computer.
If using the RS-232 cable, you must join the power supply cord to power up the
scanner.
The scanner will respond with one long beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will
become solid red and go off quickly.

1.2 MEMORY

The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the transmit
buffer (SRAM). The 4 KB transmit buffer on the scanner can store up to 256 scans based
on EAN-13 barcodes. A warning is given when the transmit buffer is full - the scanner
will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red
and go off quickly.
