COMPATIBILITY WITH PM8500
Compatibility Mode
Powerscan PM9501-AR offers a limited set of features compatible with the
previous PM8500 family. To access those features, you have to program the
system through the Compatible Mode parameter.
When in normal mode, the same parameter can be used to configure the
communication speed.
You must read the barcode
"Restore Custom Defaults"
on
page 18 when switching from normal mode to compatible mode,
or vice-versa.
