Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Syble XB-3120 scanner, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Check the distance between the barcode and the scanner. The optimal depth of field is 0-220mm for 0.33mm UPC/EAN 100%.
  • Verify that the barcode symbology is supported by the scanner (see "Supported Barcode Symbologies" section).
  • Clean the scan window if it appears dirty or smudged.
  • If using a specific software, ensure it is correctly configured to receive input from the scanner.
