4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, keep the scanning window clean. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the scanner.
4.2 Storage

5. Troubleshooting
- Scanner Not Recognized:
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the computer. Try connecting to a different USB port or a different computer to rule out port or system issues. - Barcodes Not Scanning:
Verify that the barcode is clean, undamaged, and within the scanner's optimal reading distance. Ensure sufficient lighting. If scanning from a screen, adjust the screen brightness or angle. Some barcodes, especially on screens, may require turning off the scanner's illumination LED using a specific configuration barcode from the manual. - Incorrect Data Output:
Check the configured keyboard language setting. If data is being entered into spreadsheet software like Excel, ensure that features like 'Automatically Flash Fill' and 'Enable AutoComplete for cell values' are disabled to prevent data corruption or incorrect formatting. - No Beep Sound/Indicator Light:
Confirm the scanner is powered on and connected. If the issue persists, consult the full product manual for advanced settings or contact support.
