    RETRIEVE SETUP

    After you enter Accu-Setup you need to retrieve the existing device setupparameters to your PC from the scanner you are setting up, or from a disk onwhich they may have been stored. This allows you to start with the parametersthat your device currently uses, or a set of workable parameters you have saved.When you have retrieved the device parameters you can begin changing them tomeet your application needs.

    NOTE:This option is only accessible if a communication link has been

    established with the scanner.
