Additional Information

Compatibility with BNII System

For a safe usage on BNII systems scanner needs another configuration compared to
BCS systems. If scanner is exchanged between BCS and BNII systems there is a
risk of barcode misreading if scanner is not configured properly.
Please always refer to corresponding bulletin and package insert and follow
instructions carefully if scanner will be exchanged between systems or status is
unclear.

Scanner Read redundancy:

Depending on the quality and type of used barcodes at customer site the increase of
the scanner read redundancy from 8 to 12 was implemented on a few analyzers
only.
This modification, as described in Service Bulletin SB016, is not necessary for the
JDK1426 scanner.
