Thanks for your post. This procedure doesn't help, I've tried it a few with no success. I should have been more descriptive in my original post. I believe that there is some sort of power reset for resetting the CPU. I believe it has something to do with powering the scanner off and on in some sequence and use of keys? Thanks again for your help.
