Thank you guys for the advice. In the meantime I decided to do the unthinkable,
RTFM. On page 83 of the manual I found how to reset the scanner (press a pin
through a hole on the side of the scanner) and how to initialize it (press 0 then
1 after turning it on). I tried it about 5 times without results but after the
sixth attempt the scanner came back to life and started responding to the
keyboard. It seems to be fixed now. However, it lost my confidence and I
resurrected my old PRO-37 and keep it as a backup.
