Once connected, the scanner is ready to read barcodes.

4.1. Scanning a Barcode

1. Point the scanner's beam at the barcode you wish to read.
2. Ensure the beam covers the entire barcode.
3. Press the yellow trigger button (Rebound button) to activate the laser.
4. A successful scan is typically indicated by an audible beep and/or a visual confirmation from the LED indicator.

4.2. Best Scanning Practices

• Angle: Maintain a slight bevel (angle) between the scanner and the barcode for optimal reading. Avoid holding the scanner at a 90-degree angle directly perpendicular to the barcode, as this can prevent successful reading.
• Coverage: The laser beam must fully cover the barcode from end to end. Partial coverage may result in reading errors.
• Distance: The optimal scanning width is between 5cm and 30cm. Adjust the distance to the barcode for best performance.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Excelvan BP-9502BL barcode scanner, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the scanner's exterior. For the scan window, use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the scanner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and excessive dust.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the scanner or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.
• Battery: The scanner has an internal Li 800mAh/3.7V power source. Charge the device when the battery is low. Charging time is approximately 30 minutes.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your barcode scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Press and hold the yellow button on the scanner for 10 seconds to enter pairing mode.
  • If using a desktop, ensure the Bluetooth receiver is properly inserted and drivers are installed.
  • Try restarting both the scanner and the host device.
• Scanner does not read barcodes:
  • Ensure the laser beam fully covers the entire barcode.
  • Adjust the angle of the scanner relative to the barcode. Avoid a 90-degree perpendicular angle; a slight bevel is recommended.
  • Check the scanning distance (optimal 5cm-30cm).
  • Ensure the barcode is not damaged, smudged, or poorly printed.
  • Verify the scanner is properly connected to your device (either wirelessly or via USB).
• No data output after scanning:
  • Confirm the scanner is successfully paired/connected to your device.
  • Open a text editor or application where scanned data should appear to test functionality.
  • Check if the host device's input method is correctly configured.
