Manual EAS Deactivation Push Button

enabled.

readability index of bar codes scanned by the scanner. This data may be transmitted to

the POS Terminal where it may be easily sorted for action by the MIS department to

improve bar code quality at the front end.

ner, please refer to the Product Reference Guide (PRG).
