Caution

• It is necessary to disconnect the USB cable while AtomS3R is booting up.
  Right after of reset of AtomS3R, AtomS3R drives D-/D+ as USB device mode. If the USB cable is connected to the camera at this time, the camera detects AtomS3R as USB device mode. After AtomS3R boots up, it switches the connection mode from device to host, but the camera cannot detect it.
• If the camera does not support the “LCN-STP” license, or if the license is not installed to the camera, you can record barcode/QRcode to JPEG files but you cannot view it on the camera.
