be held responsible for consequences resulting from use overseas.
The scanning mechanism must be locked in its home position for
transport within the country. To return the scanning mechatnoism

it contacts the back of the slot.
Remove the transport locking screws from the rear panel and screw

scanning mechanism with the transport lock screws. Moving the
