Scanning a Bar Code
You can only use the wand when you see one of the
following displays on the 743B:
•
The Tag, S/N, ID entry window you see after you press
the Save and Continue softkeys.
•
An alphanumeric entry window.
•
The Task List you see after you press the Tasks softkey.
The green indicator light near the tip of the wand blinks
when the 743B enters one of the above conditions,
indicating that the wand is enabled to read a bar code.
Whenever the wand is enabled, you can see a red point
of light at the tip.
Scan a bar code by holding the wand at an angle of 15 to 30°
from vertical and swiping from left to right. If desired, you can
wait until you need the wand to plug it in and use it, then
remove it after scanning. A picture showing how to hold the
wand is in Chapter 1 of the HP SmartWand Bar Code Reader
User's Manual.
When you get a successful scan, the green light near the tip
of the wand blinks and the scanned characters appear on the
743B display.
Resetting the Wand
The wand's operating parameters can be reprogrammed by
scanning special bar codes, but it is not recommended that
you reprogram the wand for use with the 743B.
If the wand's program somehow becomes altered, you can
reset the wand to its default operating parameters by
scanning the "Firm Reset" bar code in the Hewlett Packard
SmartWand Bar Code Reader User's Manual. The wand
must be attached to the 743B, and the 743B must be ready
to receive bar code wand input in order to scan the Firm
Reset bar code.
To reset the wand to its default configuration, proceed as
follows:
1.
Connect the wand to the 743B as shown left.
2.
Press the Save softkey, followed by Continue.
The green indicator light should blink and there should
be a red point of light at the tip of the wand. If these
lights do not appear when you press the Save and
Continue softkey sequence, stop here and contact a
Fluke Service Center.
3.
Scan the Firm Reset bar code near the beginning of
Chapter 4 of the Hewlett Packard SmartWand Bar Code
Reader User's Manual. The green indicator light blinks
four times to indicate a successful firm reset.
