Making Changes to a Password Protected Scanner
If the scanner is password protected, the scanner will display the message

button is pressed. Press the Enter button while the message is being displayed and enter the correct
password to gain access to the menu. After exiting the programming mode, the scanner returns to its
password protected condition.
Disabling Password Protection
To disable the password protection, access the
Password
menu and enter the correct password twice, as
shown below. The scanner is now unprotected until a new password is entered.
If the correct six-digit password is entered, the scanner displays the message
unLoc

Unlocked

protection is disabled until a new password is programmed.
If the password entered is incorrect, the scanner displays the message
Locd
(
Locked
) for about two
seconds, and then it returns to Run Mode. To try again, press Enter while the
Locked
message is displayed.
