RDM network scanner payment application requirements
The RDM network scanners do not require you to install any drivers on your computer. However,

there might be some additional setup required for the application to connect to the scanner. For
example, you might need to:
•
Install a security certificate on your computer,
•
Make changes to your browser’s security settings
,
•
Enter your scanner
’
s IP address or serial number into the payment application,
•
Configure or select your scanner make/model in the payment application.
