Problem
Digital Scanner emits four long low
beeps.
Digital Scanner emits five low long
beeps.
Decoding Bar Codes
Digital Scanner emits the laser, but
does not decode the bar code.
Digital Scanner decodes bar code,
but does not transmit the data to the
host.
Possible Causes
A transmission error was
detected in a scanned symbol.
The data is ignored.
The digital scanner is either:
- Out of range
- Not paired to the cradle
- Not connected to a remote
Bluetooth device.
Acknowledgment that transmitted
data was not received by the
cradle.
Conversion or format error.
Digital Scanner is not
programmed for the correct bar
code type.
Bar code symbol is unreadable.
Distance between digital scanner
and bar code is incorrect.
The scan line is not crossing
every bar and space of the
symbol.
Digital Scanner is not
programmed for the correct host
type.
Interface cable is loose.
Cradle is not programmed for the
correct host interface.
Digital Scanner not paired to
host-connected interface.
Possible Solutions
This occurs if a unit is not properly
configured. Check option setting.
Move the digital scanner back into
range of the remote device.
Or
Scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle.
Data may have been received by the
host. Check the host system for receipt
of transmitted data. If data was not
received by the host, re-scan the bar
code.
Check ADF rules for the host.
Program the digital scanner to read
that type of bar code. See
Symbologies.
Scan test symbols of the same bar
code type to determine if the bar code
is defaced.
Move the digital scanner closer to or
further from the bar code. See
Ranges on page 2-8.
Move the symbol until the scan line is
within the acceptable aiming pattern.
See Figure 2-1 on page 2-5.
Scan the appropriate host type
programming bar code. See the
chapter corresponding to the host type.
Ensure all cable connections are
secure.
Check digital scanner host parameters
or edit options.
Pair the digital scanner to the cradle by
scanning the PAIR bar code on the
cradle.
