good interface cable.
Troubleshooting the Scanner
If the problem is specific to scanning, verify that...
•
The scanner will automatically perform a set of self-tests whenever
you turn it on. Observe and note any special indications made by
the scanner (an unexpected pattern of flashes or beeps) during
power-up. If technical support is contacted regarding a problem,
they may request this information.
•
Does the scanner power on? Does the illumination beam come on?
If no illumination beam, check that...
• the battery has been adequately charged.
• the battery is fully seated and its latch engaged.
• the trigger works.
•
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn't reading symbols well, check that the symbols...
• aren't smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• aren't coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
