Table 12-1. Troubleshooting The Terminal (continued)
Problem
When receiving beamed
data an out of memory
message appears.
The terminal does not
accept scan input.
12-8
Cause
Not enough free memory
available for receiving
data.
Scanning application is
not loaded.
Unreadable bar code.
Distance between exit
window and bar code is
incorrect.
Terminal is not
programmed for the bar
code.
Terminal is not
programmed to
generate a beep.
Battery is low.
Solution
The terminal requires at least twice the
amount of memory available as the data you
are receiving. For example, if you are
receiving a 30K application, you must have
at least 60K free.
Verify that the unit is loaded with a scanning
application. See your System Administrator.
Ensure the symbol is not defaced.
Ensure you are within proper scanning
range.
Ensure the terminal 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 the
battery level. When the battery is low, the
scanner shuts off before the terminal
notifies you of the low battery condition.
Note 1: By default, each scan trigger
appears to be Trigger #1. The actual trigger
cannot be determined via software. A
registry entry exists to have the Triggers act
independently as Trigger #1 to Trigger #5,
so that separate actions can be assigned to
the triggers. For more details, refer to the
Windows CE Software Developer's Kit for
Symbol Terminals (Help File).
Note 2: If the scanner is still not reading
symbols, contact your distributor or Symbol
Technologies.
