To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your CHITENG Barcode Scanner, follow these maintenance guidelines:

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your barcode scanner, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Incorrect Data Output: Check the scanner's configuration settings. Refer to the full user guide for instructions on resetting to factory defaults or adjusting data formatting (e.g., prefix/suffix settings).
• Scanner Not Recognized: Try connecting the scanner to a different USB port or a different computer to rule out port or system-specific issues. Ensure your operating system is compatible.
