Software can automatically detect an installed ODV-1 or ODV-2D validator when the printer is powered up.
This section focuses on the specifics of the ODV-2D but follows the same behavior as the ODV-1 except
with ODV-2D icons and menus. The state of the ODV-2D can be observed from the ONLINE screen as
shown in Figure 1 below.

configuration as described in the Administrator's Manual.
