Solution
Confirm that the SPT 1800 terminals are
5" apart, the receiver has its IrDA capa-
bility enabled and that the path between
the two devices is clear of obstacles.
Note: You cannot overwrite a .prc file via
IrDA if it is locked.
Your SPT 1800 terminal requires at
least twice the amount of memory avail-
able as the data you are receiving. For
example, if you are receiving a 30K ap-
plication, you must have at least 60K
free.
Verify that the SPT 1800 is loaded with
a scanning application. See your Sys-
tem Administrator.
Check to be sure the bar code symbol is
not defaced.
Be sure you are within proper scanning
range.
Be sure the SPT 1800 is programmed to
accept the type of bar code you are
scanning.
If you are expecting a beep on a good
decode and don't hear one, check that
the application is set to generate a beep
on good decode.
If the scanner stops emitting a laser
beam when you press the trigger, check
your battery level. When the battery is
low, the scanner shuts off before the ter-
minal notifies you of the low battery con-
dition.
Note: If, after performing these checks,
the scanner is still not reading symbols,
contact your distributor or Symbol Tech-
nologies.
