	Yes, the behaviour of scanning is quite weird on most
firmwares (different vendors have different quirks). My expectation is
that in the long run, all these bugs will get fixed.
	You should ask Symbol themselves (ask Lee and Brad from the
other Symbol driver) about this issue. Another way would be to reset
the card after the scanning is done.

	Have fun...
