Password Protection - Microscan MS-3 User Manual

Password Protection

Note: Password protection options are entered serially and are not available in ESP
menus.
Usage: Password Protection when enabled prevents the scanner's parameters
from being modified but does not affect the flow of data from the scanner
or its response to read only commands.
Definition: Can require a password for any serial or menu command change.
Password From a terminal screen enter
Entry: (Do not put a comma between K733 and the password.)
If you enter the password correctly, you will see the password echoed to the screen and
you will then be able to make changes to the scanner's parameters.
Enter the password once and the scanner's command protection is temporarily
unlocked until the scanner is turned off or reset. If a reset occurs then the password will
need to be entered again.
