Operating Instructions

Presentation Scanning (using the stand)

The scanner is capable of processing approximately 270 scans per second, ensuring quick and efficient data capture.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your scanner.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to wipe the scanner's exterior and scan window. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Datalogic Heron HD3130-BK scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Scanner does not power on. | USB cable not connected or faulty. | Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. |
| Scanner does not read barcodes. | Barcode damaged, incorrect aiming, or scanner settings. | Ensure the barcode is clean and undamaged. Aim the red line directly across the barcode. Check if the scanner is configured for the specific barcode symbology (e.g., UPC-A, Code 39). |
