Appendix A:
Controlling the Reader With KCjunior™ or KC4™
Problems
If KC4 fails to communicate with the reader and displays a serial
communications error, check the cable plug-in location to ensure that it
matches the setup choices and is not a Null cable. If this is suspected, add
another Null and try again.
If an Incorrect Reader Model Connected dialog box is displayed, click
OK to clear the screen and select System, Readers, Available Readers.
Verify that the reader selected is correct.
