Scanning Problems
What If ...
Nothing happens when you follow the operating instructions?
•
Check the system power.
•
Make sure the scanner is programmed to read the symbology you are trying to
read.
•
Check the bar code to make sure it is not defaced.
•
Check to see if you are scanning from the proper distance.
•
Try scanning a test symbol of the symbology you are trying to read.
Your terminal operates but scanned data is not displayed correctly?
•
Check the system power.
•
Check that the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc.) are set
properly for the receiving device.
The laser does not activate?
•
You may have exceeded the allowable amount of scanning activity within the limits
of your laser class of operation; in this case, wait for a short interval until scanning
can resume.
•
You may be scanning in an inappropriately hot environment. If so, remove the
equipment from that environment, or allow the laser to cool down.
