IRECTION
1.6 Bar code Reader
The Bar code reader automatically performs self-tests whenever initially turned on. If it's not
functioning properly, review the following sections to try to isolate the problem or replace the reader.
The barcode reader is not user serviceable (except for cleaning) and must be replaced as a whole
unit (FRU).
If you aren't sure what programming options have been set, or if you want the factory default
settings restored, scan the "Factory Default Settings".
1.6.1 Is the power on? Is the red illumination beam on?
If the red illumination beam isn't illuminated, check that:
1.) The cable is connected properly.
2.) The host system power is on (if external power isn't used).
3.) The trigger works.
1.6.2 Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn't reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
1.) Aren't smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
2.) Aren't coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
3.) Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.
1.6.3 Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the <Enter>/
<Return> key or the <Tab> key, for example). You need to program a suffix. See the reader's user
guide on setting up suffixes.
1.6.4 The scanner won't read your bar code at all.
1.) Scan sample bar codes in the user guide. If the scanner reads the sample bar codes, check
2.) If the scanner still can't read the sample bar codes, scan "All Symbologies".
