TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Suggestions
Check synchronization of reading pulse with object to read:
Is the scan line correctly positioned?
Place barcode in the center of scan line and run Test mode
(selectable by Genius™ as an Operating Mode). If you still have
trouble, check the following:
• Is the reading distance within that allowed (see reading
diagrams)?
• Is the Tilt angle too large?
• Is the Skew angle less than 10° (direct reflection)?
• Choose the Code Definition branch and enable different
Code Symbologies (except Pharmacode). Length = Min
and Max (variable).
• Is the Bar Code quality sufficient?
If you had no success, try to perform the test using the
BARCODE TEST CHART included with the product.
•
Is the serial cable connected?
•
Is the correct wiring respected?
•
Are serial host settings equivalent to the serial device
setting?
•
If using CBX, be sure the RS485 termination switch is
positioned to OFF.
•
In the Genius™ program select the Data Communication
Settings/Data Format/Standard Parameters branch and
check the Header, Separators, and Terminator values
•
Also check the Code Field Length and Fill Character values.
•
Are the COM port parameters correctly assigned?
•
Contact your local Datalogic office or Datalogic Partner or
ARC, because either a Motor or Laser failure has occurred.
•
Note the exact model and Serial Number of the device.
•
The device's serial number is printed on a label that is affixed
to the body of the reader.
•
Serial numbers consist of 9 characters: one letter, 2
numbers, and another letter followed by 5 numbers.
