Scanner Status LED, Sounds, and Vibrations
The scanner LED (the far right LED) indicates whether or not your scan is successful. The LED behaves as
follows:
•
Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.
•
Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when the scan is ended.
•
Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.
A barcode icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the onscreen message
states: SCANNING. If you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable the "Scan Indicator" parameter in the
Control Panel>Scanners>Options>Display menu.
When the scan is successful, the barcode data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol
trigger) is released, but only if the "Scan Result" parameter is turned on in the Control Panel>Scan-
ners>Options>Display menu.
You can also enable sounds and vibrations to indicate good and bad scans by enabling those options in the
Control Panel>Scanners>Options>Display menu.
Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
•
Is the unit on?
•
Check that the barcode symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held you are using. Check any
other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the barcode.
•
Check the barcode to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different barcode to verify that the
problem is not with the barcode.
•
Check that the barcode is within the proper range.
•
Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware problem in the
hand-held.
•
Is the laser beam scanning across the barcode?
•
Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.
Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners
•
Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
IMPORTANT
•
Aim at the barcode and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear until
a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be
enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after which normal
scanning begins. Refer to
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an
immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and
high visibility internal scanners.
