Product description

Abbott Molecular Bar Code Scanner User's Guide; instructions for setting up the Bar Code Scanner LN 6L89-01, a component of the Abbott m2000 Instrument System; Abbott Molecular Inc., Des Plaines, IL 60018 USA; list number 06L88-02. Language configuration bar codes - Intended Use: The bar code scanner is a hand-held device that provides a convenient means of scanning sample bar codes to allow positive sample identification and is supplementary to the computer keyboard. Both the scanner and the keyboard transmit data to a System Control Center (SCC) through a single wedge (cable with branched connectors). The bar code scanner must be configured to match the keyboard language being used. In its default configuration set by the manufacturer (Jadak), the scanner is in English format. If a keyboard other than the English keyboard is being used, the user is required to use the scanner to scan an appropriate language configuration bar code provided in the User's Guide to match the language of the keyboard. Users in the U.S have the ability to convert to another language.
