FINAL SOFTWARE CHECKS IN XWARE 1) If the loop-back test is successful, verify in X-Ware that the correct product is selected. In SETTINGS, verify that the proper PC COM port and device address is selected, that Baud is 9600, Data Bits=8, Stop Bits=1, and Parity=none. 2) Click on the CHECKOUT box under SETTINGS.
