If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
•
Is the unit on?
•
Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the Ikôn you are using.
Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code.
•
Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to
verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
•
Check that the bar code is within the proper range.
•
Does the Ikôn display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware problem
in the Ikôn.
•
Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
•
Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.
