Beeper Sequence Indication

Scanner gives a power-up beep after scanning a USB Device Type. Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the highest power level.
This power-up beep occurs more than once. The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power to the scanner is cycled on and off more than once. This is normal and usually happens when the PC cold boots.

RS-232
