5. Operating Instructions
The XB-8602 scanner operates with an intuitive automatic sensing mechanism.
- Positioning: Place the item with the barcode in front of the scanner's reading window.
- Automatic Scan: The scanner will automatically detect the barcode and illuminate to read it.
- Successful Read: Upon a successful scan, the scanner will typically emit an audible beep and/or a visual indicator (e.g., a green light flash). The barcode data will then be transmitted to your connected computer or POS system, appearing as if typed via a keyboard.
- Adjusting Position: If a barcode is not read immediately, slightly adjust the distance or angle of the item relative to the scanner window. Ensure the barcode is flat and not excessively creased or damaged.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your barcode scanner.
- Cleaning the Scanning Window: Regularly clean the scanning window with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the window.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the scanner with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Avoid Liquids: Do not immerse the scanner in water or expose it to excessive moisture.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the scanner in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the USB cable excessively, as this can damage the internal wires.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner not powering on/no light. | USB cable not properly connected or faulty USB port. | Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the scanner and the computer. Try a different USB port on your computer. |
| Scanner not reading barcodes. | Barcode damaged, poor print quality, or scanner window is dirty. Incorrect barcode type. | Clean the scanning window. Ensure the barcode is clear and undamaged. Verify the barcode type is supported (1D/2D). Adjust distance and angle. |
| Barcode data not appearing on screen. | Application not in focus, or scanner not recognized by the system. | Ensure the cursor is in the desired text field of your application (e.g., Notepad, Word, POS software). Reconnect the USB cable. Restart the computer if necessary. |
| Scanner beeps but no data output. | Output mode misconfiguration (less likely for plug-and-play). | This model is typically plug-and-play. If this occurs, try reconnecting the USB cable. Ensure your application is ready to receive input. |
