   Hi,
   For a keyboard wedge interface (IDT4431-4) or USB/keyboard emulation interface (IDT4431-4U) scanner:
   
   a. Get into any simple text editor. Notepad is recommended in the Windows environment. (Locate it through Start/all programs/Accessories/Notepad)
   
   b. Scan a valid sample bar code (the EAN13+5 barcode on the bottom of Page 14 of the manual can be used as a sample test barcode). The scanner should beep once and the correct 13 digits output data should be displayed on Notepad screen (see the notes below).
   
   For a RS-232 serial interface scanner (IDT4421-4):
   
   a. Get into HyperTerminal in the Windows environment. (Locate it through Start/all programs/accessories/communications/HyperTerminal)
   
   b. Set up Hyper Terminal to communicate at 9600, none, 8, 1, Xon/Xoff through the COM port where the scanner is connected (Refer to General FAQ section for detail on how to setup HyperTerminal for testing)
   
   c. Scan a valid sample bar code. The scanner should beep once and the correct barcode data should be displayed in the Hyper Terminal Screen
   
   Notes:
   Do not use the configuration bar codes in the manual as test bar codes. If you can't find a sample bar code with which to test the scanner, the EAN-13 +5 bar code located at the bottom of page 14 of the manual can be used as a test bar code.
   
   If the scanner does not beep, check the bar code label and verify that the bar code is a valid one.
   
   If the scanner beeps, but no data is shown in the text editor (Notepad) or HyperTerminal, check the scanner's interface setting. (Refer to Group 1 on page 9 of the manual for details.)
   
   If the scanner is verified as working, but it will not work with your application software, check the software requirement for the bar code scanner output data format. Re-configure the scanner accordingly.
