Problems While Scanning Bar Codes (continued)
Problem
You scan a reader command, such as
Backlight On, and nothing happens.
The scanner does not read the bar code labels
quickly, or the scanning beam seems to be
faint or obscured.
You scan a valid bar code label to enter data
for your application. The data decoded by
the scan module does not match the data
encoded in the bar code label.

Solution
The reader commands are disabled. Scan the Enable Override
command shown here to temporarily enable all of the reader
commands. You can also enable or disable reader commands with the
TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. For help, see "Command
Processing" in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual. When
you are finished, remember to disable the override so that your data
is not interpreted as a command.

The scanner window may be dirty. Clean the window with a solution
of ammonia and water. Wipe dry. Do not allow abrasive material to
touch the window.
The terminal may have decoded the bar code label in a symbology
other than the label's actual symbology. Try scanning the bar code
label again. Make sure you scan the entire label.
To operate the terminal quickly and efficiently, you should enable
only the bar code symbologies that you are going to scan. If you
enable multiple symbologies, the terminal may on rare occasions
decode a bar code according to the wrong symbology and produce
erroneous results.
You seldom need to boot or reset the terminal. When you boot the
terminal, it runs through power-on self test (POST) to test each major
subsystem. The terminal uses the configuration currently saved in flash
memory. Once the terminal is finished booting, your application appears
on the screen.
You only need to reset the terminal when the terminal or an application is
locked up and will not respond. The terminal also boots and resets after a
firmware upgrade or if you remove the battery pack for more than 15
minutes and the backup power source runs out. The next instructions
explain how you boot and reset the terminal.
You can boot the terminal using these two methods:
• Configure the _ key to boot the terminal when you turn on the
terminal.
• Use the Boot Menu.
