Communication Errors

Scanning Transmission Range

A communication error will occur when the scanner, cradle or host fails to properly
communicate. When a communication error occurs while using the default application, the
scanner emits 4 beeps (Lo Hi Lo Hi). For a complete list of error beeps, see

Description
RS-232 host does not recognize character(s)
transmitted from scanner.
Handshaking failure.
Scanner does not recognize character(s)
transmitted from RS-232 host.
Synapse host does not recognize character(s)
transmitted from scanner.
Synapse transmission failed. Synapse cable may
not be properly installed.
Scanner is out of range, not properly paired to a
base or the base may have lost power.
The base to which the scanner is paired has been
paired with another scanner.
Scanner is out of range.
A Synapse cable cannot communicate with MCL-
Link. Reconnect to the host using an RS-232 cable
and then cycle power (power off then on) to the
base.
The base is not responding. Cycle power (power off
then on) to the base.
MCL-Link responded with a busy message.
