PRESS FUNCTION COMMENT TYPE Press button for Only system support personnel Resets Scanner b 10 seconds should perform a reset. a. By standard default, this function is normally disabled to prevent acciden- tal activation by users. b.

LED AND BEEPER INDICATORS The scanner’s beeper sounds and its green LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the scanner. The tables that follow list these indications. An exception is that the scanner’s functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, some indications (such as the power-up beep) can be disabled using programming bar code labels.

BEEPER INDICATION COMMENT INDICATION The Power-On LED indication is a configurable feature which can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, this Power On Beep Single beep beep indicates the scanner has finished all its power-up tests and is now ready for operation.
This manual offers programming barcodes for common functions. Additional programming barcodes are available in the PRG, or use Datalogic Aladdin software utility, available on the Datalogic website. Using Barcodes After completing the physical connection between the scanner and its host, go to the Programming Bar Codes table on the following pages to locate the interface type for your scanner (such as RS-232, USB, etc.).

Good Read Beep Frequency Adjusts the scanner’s good read beep to sound at low, medium, or high frequency (controls the beeper’s pitch/tone). • Medium • High • To set this feature: Scan the Enter/Exit Programming Mode bar code. Scan your selection from the bar codes below. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
Good Read Green Spot Duration Successful reading can be signaled by a good read green spot. Use the bar codes that follow to specify the duration of the good read pointer beam after a good read. START / END Disabled Short (300 ms) Medium (500 ms) Long (800 ms)
Reading of the various bar code symbologies can be independently enabled or disabled in the scanner. If the scanner still does not function properly, consult the Product Reference Guide (PRG) or contact your local supplier or Datalogic Customer Support Services. QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE...
Error Codes If an error is detected, the scanner will sound a long low tone (for three seconds) and flash its LED, indicating a failure. When this occurs, press the Scanner button to hear the error code. If it is configured to do so, the scanner will sound a series of beeps corresponding to the error code and/or flash its LED simultaneous to the beeps.
CLEANING Exterior surfaces and scan windows exposed to spills, smudges or debris accumulation require periodic cleaning to assure best performance during scanning. Use a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel dampened with a nonabrasive, mild, water-based cleaner to wipe away stains, smudges, fingerprints, spills, etc.
