PowerScan® M8500 LED Indicators
The PowerScan® M8500 family uses green LED indicators to signal the following reader
functions:
Power ON
Normal Function
Beeper
The PowerScan® M8500 basic software provides beeper signals for good/wrong reading
and for indicating errors. Its tone, volume and duration can be directly configured by using
the codes given in the PowerScan® M8500 Reference Manual available on the website.
The application program can also manage the beeper (User Defined Beeper) when the
reader is controlled by a Host PC. It is possible to activate the beeper by sending a command
from the Host to the reader via the current communication interface.
