Problems Reading Bar Codes
Problem
You cannot see the illumination
beam or frame from the scanner
when you press the Scan button
and aim the scanner at a bar code
label.
When you release the Scan
button or scan handle trigger, the
Good Read LED does not turn
off.

Possible Solution
•
You may be too far away from the bar
code label. Try moving closer to the
bar code label and scan it again.
•
You may be reading the bar code label
"straight on." Change the reading
angle and try again.
If you configure the computer to use
continuous/edge triggering, the Good
Read LED stays on. If you configure the
computer for level triggering and the
Good Read LED stays on, there may be a
problem. Press the Scan button or pull
the trigger again without scanning a bar
code label. If the LED is still on, contact
Intermec.
