Will my application require changes if I attach a new check scanner?

Your applications will plug-and-play with new check scanners provided that your programmers follow our development guidelines and they do not make any invalid assumptions about the scanners that they can be running on.  For example, applications should ask Ranger how many pockets the check scanner has, rather than assume it has two pockets.  Some scanners have one pocket and some have a large number of pockets.  Therefore it is possible for programmers to make their applications non-portable.  However, most applications can run new check scanners without changes.
