- No data transmission: Verify the scanner is successfully paired or connected via USB. Check if the correct upload mode (Instant or Storage) is selected. If in Storage Mode, remember to scan the "Data Upload" barcode to transfer data.
- Scanner not reading barcodes: Ensure the barcode is clean and not damaged. Adjust the distance and angle between the scanner and the barcode. Check if the barcode type is supported by the scanner.
- Battery not charging: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and a power source. Check if the power source is functional.
