Re: Clear User Data on 3600 / 436

Extended File Allocation Table (exFAT)The exFAT file system was introduced in 2006 and was added to older versions of Windows with updates to Windows XP and Windows Vista. exFAT is optimized for flash drives—designed to be a lightweight file system like FAT32, but without the extra features and over head of NTFS and without the limitations of FAT32. Like NTFS, exFAT has very large limits on file and partition sizes., allowing you to store files much larger than the 4 GB allowed by FAT32. Compatibility: Works with all versions of Windows and modern versions of Mac OS X, but requires additional software on Linux. More devices support exFAT than support NTFS, but some—particularly older ones—may only support FAT32. Ideal Use: Assuming that every device you want to use the drive with supports exFAT, you should format your device with exFAT instead of FAT32. While exFAT is generally ideal for flash drives. However, you may sometimes need to format an external drive with FAT32 if exFAT isn’t supported on a device you need to use it with. Thanks.......and Keep Safe! Ken Stark SEE YOU ON-THE-RADIO.

There’s at least a problem if it’s not “THE” problem. You should format the card FAT, no exFAT. You can try again by inserting the card into your computer and right clicking on the drive letter that represents the card. Select “Format…”, but select “FAT” for the file system. ***WARNING*** clicking on the wrong drive letter WILL result in formatting a difference drive and loss of data.

Re: Clear User Data on 3600 / 436

The exFAT might be the issue. If the card is not properly formatted the scanner won't see it which means the USB won't see it. That also would result in the repeated CLEAR USER DATA message.

Try it as FAT or FAT32. The upper limit is at least 128GB. Joe M.

Re: Clear User Data on 3600 / 436
Andrew, I trust that you have tried other USB ports, directly into the laptop, not a USB hub. Let's have you walk through a sequence that will help define the source of your issue. Sometimes, a USB port/hub can have a 'sticky' bit
and fail to work. Here is a series to try. 1) Power off both the scanner and shutdown, then
power off the laptop AND power
off AND then unplug the power sources, INCLUDING
the battery (both devices and any other connections on the
laptop). 2) Have a cuppa (well, wait at least 2 minutes), then replace the power source(s) (batteries), power both on and see if the scanner is now recognized. 2a) You can see if the SD card is still not seen
in the scanner at this time. If not; 3) Check to see if the scanner is recognized
(device manager) in another system, preferably in BULK DATA mode
(so it looks like a thumb drive to the OS). At this point: If the scanner is recognized on another system
and not your laptop, it's the laptop causing the issue (likely a
munged up driver). If the scanner still isn't seen by any
computer (and still can't read the SD card), it's the scanner;
the USB has failed. That the scanner is
apparently not seeing the SD card, this supports that theory,
it's likely sharing the chip set. Good luck! Regards,
