14. Warning 1.
Do not remove
the LDT from the cradle if the COMM light is flashing as it indicates that data is
being transmitted or a command is
being received.
15 Warning 2.
A log file named RscanLog_ppp
will also be created to give a summary of the communication
with the scanner, where ppp is the
same as for the debug file.
Data is appended to this
file for each communication with the scanner, so it must be
checked regularly by the system administrator to
prevent it becoming too large.
