3. Operating Instructions

The NEDIS BSCN1D100BK scanner is designed for straightforward operation:

1. Power On: The scanner powers on automatically when connected to a USB port.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your scanner:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the scanner's exterior. For the laser window, use a lens cleaning cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the scanner in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive dust.
• Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the USB cable excessively, as this can damage the internal wires.

Safety Warning:

This device uses a 650nm laser diode. CAUTION: LASER LIGHT. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Direct exposure to the laser beam may cause eye injury. Do not attempt to open or modify the scanner, as this may expose you to hazardous laser radiation and will void the warranty.

5. Troubleshooting

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

• Scanner Not Responding:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the host device.
  • Try connecting the scanner to a different USB port on your device.
  • Restart your computer or host device.
• No Data Output After Scanning:
  • Verify that the application you are using (e.g., text editor, POS software) is active and ready to receive input.
  • Ensure the barcode is clean, undamaged, and clearly visible.
  • Check the distance and angle between the scanner and the barcode. Try adjusting your position.
  • Confirm the scanner emits a laser line when the trigger is pressed. If not, check connections.
• Incorrect Data Scanned:
  • Ensure you are scanning a 1D barcode. This scanner is not designed for 2D barcodes (like QR codes).
  • The barcode might be damaged or poorly printed. Try scanning a different, known good barcode.
• Scanner Beeps Continuously or Emits Error Tone:
  • This may indicate a configuration error or a hardware issue. Disconnect and reconnect the scanner.
  • Consult the manufacturer's website for specific error code meanings if applicable.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support for further assistance.
