	* It's performance is much better than any previous versions, but (unlike the HD scanner) you may have to deal with lighting issues with this scanner. Sometimes external lighting can interfere with this scanner. You may need to move the arm to a darker room to measure. Skylights from external sunlight will probably make scanning impossible in our experience.		* It's performance is much better than any previous versions, but (unlike the HD scanner) you may have to deal with lighting issues with this scanner.

	* It is often necessary to run this scanner in FIXED exposure mode - rather than AUTO. This is a bit of an inconvenience to the customer. But customers don't seem to mind anyway.		* It is often necessary to run this scanner in FIXED exposure mode - rather than AUTO. This is a bit of an inconvenience to the customer.

	* This was the first scanner from FARO to have a vertical laser line. If you were to point the laser at a wall with the grip pointing toward the floor, then you will see a vertical laser line on the wall. The effect is to give the sensation that you are spray-painting the surface with the laser with a left to right or right to left motion relative to the handle.		* This was the first scanner from FARO to have a vertical laser line.

 * This is the oldest scanner that we know about. (We've never seen version 1.)  A few customers use it in applications that don't require a lot of accuracy. It works - but it cannot be run well in a room with standard factory lighting.  Also, expect to surface-coat (see [[Surface Spray]]) any slightly reflective tubes.
